Ash Lab works in the area of nucleic acid aptamers, which are single stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides having high affinity and specificity to their target. Aptamer binding to its target is utilized in designing new biosensing platforms for disease detection and diagnostics. In addition, the lab also focuses on construction of DNA/RNA based nanoparticles… Continue reading Ash Lab (Ashwani Sharma)

We perform research activity in the Materials Chemistry, specifically energy storage materials for batteries and supercapacitors. Our prime aspect of work is to realize the high energy and power capability in a single device by integrating rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors. Recycling spent batteries and bio-waste derived material towards charge storage devices to keep our environment… Continue reading Energy Storage Materials (Vanchiappan Aravindan)

Our group is interested in the syntheses of carbene stabilized zero-valent heterodiatomic compounds with main group elements and/or mixed transition metal/main group elements and studying their physical and catalytic properties for the syntheses of biologically relevant small organic molecules

The main focus of our research group is to investigate the correlation between the structure and function of multidomain proteins using Spectroscopic and Single Molecule Optical tweezers technique.

We work on clinical mass spectrometry imaging for cancer diagnosis and disease biomarker discovery. Our laboratory also focuses on methodology developments using ambient ionization mass spectrometry to explore natural product discovery, microdroplet chemistry, catalysis and mechanistic organic chemistry.

Our group primarily works in the area of computational and quantum chemistry. We eagerly work towards new developments in application of computational tools/protocols in organic/bio-organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry. As an auxiliary area, we are also interested in scientific pedagogy.

Our group mainly focus on biomimetic systems and small molecule activation (O2, NO, CO, CO, and H2S, etc.) in the field of bioinorganic chemistry. In addition, we also focus on bio-sensing, catalysis and insight into the mechanistic pathways of various enzymatic reactions.

Our primary research focus is to develop new synthetic methods using catalysis as the main tool with special focus on visible light photoredox catalysis, transition metal catalysis & asymmetric catalysis. These synthetic methods will later be used for applications in total synthesis of natural products, drugs & other bioactive compounds.
