Advanced Bioelectronic Devices Laboratory

About Lab: Here  at ABDL, CBMR, Lucknow, we are developing cutting edge diagnostic  devices for both Communicable (infectious) and Non-communicable diseases utilizing electronic chip based platform. We investigate the electrical properties of different biomolecules ranging from bacteria, proteins, metabolites, DNA and RNAs etc.  This understanding is further applied to develop electronic biosensors and study their performance i.e. sensitivity, specificity, and limit of detection for the biomarker of interest. 

Principal Investigator: Dr. Narendra Kumar’s has 15 years of experience in developing Bioelectronic  devices for various disease diagnostics. Currently working as Assistant Professor at Centre of BioMedical Research (CBMR), SGPGI Campus, Lucknow, India. Obtained PhD in 2016 from IIT Kanpur working with Prof. Siddhartha Panda. Followed by postdoctoral research at University of California, Irvine with Prof. Philip G Collins and at Boston College & Giner Lab with Prof. Kenneth S. Burch, worked on carbon nanotube and graphene based bioelectronic devices. Before joining here at CBMR, PI was working at GRIP Molecular Technologies, Cambridge, Massachusetts on developing graphene chip based at home diagnostics.
