NanoBio Research Lab (NBRL)
We, the NBRL, are an interdisciplinary research group working on translating nanotechnology for biomedical applications. NBRL is developing group members from various disciplines, including biotechnology, polymer technology, materials science, chemistry, physiology, and pharmacy. NBRL also include a collaborative team of academicians, scientists, clinicians, and industry personnel.
Research
Nanomedicine and Drug / Gene Delivery
NBRL is focusing to take up the challenges in the biomedical sector to develop prototypes/products/processes for nano-formulations for different drug/gene delivery. We aim to safely and efficiently translate new therapeutic agents from bench to bedside to improve human health.
Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine
At the current stage, NBRL is working on engineering nanomaterials for their possible applications in bone, wound, and inflammatory diseases. The interdisciplinary team of academicians, clinicians, industry personnel, and scientists focuses on solving the challenge in collaboration.
Nanomaterials – Biomolecule Interaction
The nano-bio interactions will not only influence the function and fate of nano-formulations but also affect the therapeutic behavior of the formulation. NBRL also focuses on understanding the behavior of nano-formulations in the biological environment. NBRL focuses on evaluating the basic mechanisms of the reactions at nanomaterial–biology (nano-bio) interfaces and finding strategies to manipulate the nano-bio responses for its biomedical applications.
Sustainable Nanotechnology
The other approach of NBRL will be to engineer the nano-formulations for efficient nutraceuticals, focusing on solving the nutritional deficiency in human health. Safe production and use of nanomaterials require effective risk management. For this purpose, we combine nano-related exposure and toxicity knowledge to develop processes and procedures for risk assessment and management of nanomaterials.
