Biomaterials (Hydrogels/Gels and Nanomaterials); Drug Delivery (Chemotherapeutic Agents, Antidiabetic Drugs, Antibiotics, Anti-inflammatory Drugs, and Microbicide) ; Antibacterial; Wound Healing; and Bone tissue regeneration.
Our research efforts are focused on the development and evaluation of polymer or peptide-based hydrogels/gels, nanomaterials, and bioconjugates for chemotherapeutic agent delivery, antidiabetic drug delivery, anti-inflammatory drug delivery, antibiotic delivery, medical device-associated infection, wound healing, and bone tissue engineering applications.
Antibacterial, self-assembled peptide gels were developed with enhanced proteolytic stability for medical devise associated infections (Biomacromolecules 2018, 19, 782).
Self-healing, injectable, and biodegradable polymeric hydrogels were developed for the pH-responsive sustained release of chemotherapy and 3D cell culture (ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces 2018, 10, 30936).
Self-assembled peptide gels were developed with high proteolytic stability and potent antibacterial activities for medical device-associated infections (ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering 2020, 6, 5507).
Thiolated mesoporous silica nanoparticles were developed for bone regeneration in osteoporotic conditions (ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering 2023, 9, 3535).
Antioxidant, self-assembled peptide gels were developed for the pH-responsive, sustained release of glimepiride and to prevent the oxidative stress in diabetic patients (Biomaterials Science 2022, 10, 2248).
Heterogenous catalyst was developed by immobilizing the self-assembling peptide on ceria nanoparticles to mimic the activities of esterase, phosphatase, and halo peroxidase enzymes for industrial applications (Nanoscale 2024, 16, 16887).
Acemannan-coated, cobalt-doped biphasic calcium phosphate nanoparticles were developed to induce bone tissue regeneration and create a pro-healing microenvironment for regeneration (Biomaterials Science 2024, 12, 3672).
Yttrium oxide nanoparticle-loaded, self-assembled peptide gels were developed to inhibit inflammation and bacterial infection, and induce angiogenesis in chronic wounds (ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering 2023, 9, 2647).
