I work in the area of design and development of materials and devices inspired from nature to solve biomedical and life science applications. My two area of interest are -Design and development of micro devices - I am interested in developing affordable blood microsampling, bio-separation (gas/solute separation), organ-on-chip ( tumoroid models) and lab-on-chip diagnostic devices using the principles of microfluidics, lab-on-chip, bio mimicry and biomaterials. - Development of novel materials for biomedical applications - I use nanomaterials like nanofibers, nanoparticles and nanostructures ( multiscale patterns) to create scaffolds that can facilitate near native expression of mammalian cells ( i.e. organ-on-a -chip devices and wound healing and management strategies
