Our research group’s activities tend to be highly interdisciplinary in nature, involving at times elements of synthetic organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, and spectroscopy. We are interested in new concepts and methods that can impact technology and make positive contributions to society. We synthesis new molecular fluorescent probes and nano-based diagnostic systems as bio/chemo-sensor for biologically important analytes
(anions/cations/biomolecules) and species is one of the group’s major thrusts. The Laboratory aims to develop new synthetic methodologies for the preparation of Metallo-supramolecular glycopeptide materials for antifreeze activity. Further, we are focused on the synthesis and characterization of new porous crystalline inorganic and organic materials (Metal-organic framework) for applications in water purification, sensing, and biological applications.

Research interests

                       Nanomaterials for Bio/chemical sensing applications

                  Fluorescent Molecular probes for imaging of Biomolecules

Fluorescent Molecular probes for imaging of Biomolecules:  Design, Synthesis, and Characterization of organic small molecules, fluorescent molecular probes, and all these will be characterized by a wide range of characterization techniques, including IR Spectroscopy, 1H&13C NMR (1D & 2D) Spectroscopy, Mass Spectrometry, MALDI, CHNS.  Initially, the utility of conjugates in recognizing ions and molecules has been investigated on the basis of their preference for binding or reactivity towards biologically important ions and molecules. The interactions of conjugates with such analytes have been studied by UV-Vis Spectroscopy, Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Single-crystal XRD, Powdered XRD, ITC, CD Spectroscopy, DLS, Confocal Microscopy, etc. are used.

        Bio-inspired supramolecular self-assembly towards Antifreeze materials

Bio-inspired supramolecular self-assembly towards Antifreeze materials:  Synthesis of a new class of metal-containing aromatic planar π-conjugated glycopeptide-based materials is one of the major components of our research work, which involves, the development of new methodologies encompassing both organic and inorganic chemistry. To establish structure-function relationships of Metallo-supramolecular self-assembled materials and to provide entry to new families of bio-inspired cryoprotectants.
