Our laboratory integrates synthetic, supramolecular and formulation chemistry with nanotechnology to design advanced delivery systems and sustainable biomaterials. We focus on chemical modification, conjugation strategies and host-guest inclusion complexes to improve the solubility, stability and bioavailability of bioactive compounds. Using nano based approaches such as self-emulsifying systems, nanofibers and liposomal carriers, we translate chemical innovations into effective therapeutic and nutraceutical applications. In parallel, we develop biodegradable active packaging and functional materials from natural polymers using green chemistry principles. Our research also explores cyclodextrin based systems for agricultural biostimulants, aiming to create efficient, scalable and environmentally sustainable solutions. Through a combination of fundamental chemistry and translational research, our goal is to develop innovative, scalable and sustainable solutions with real world impact across health, food and agricultural sectors.

1. Advanced Drug Delivery & Formulation Chemistry

Our laboratory focuses on designing advanced drug delivery systems using formulation and synthetic chemistry approaches. We develop systems such as nanoemulsions, self-emulsifying systems, nanofibers, liposomes, and inclusion complexes. These strategies improve solubility, stability, and bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs, enabling effective therapeutic outcomes in diverse disease conditions.
