RESEARCH AREAS/INTEREST

My areas of research interest are Novel strategies to improve the drug delivery to tumor, Role of tumor fibrosis in Nano drug delivery, Drug delivery for Organ Fibrosis (Lungs, Liver, Pancreas and Kidneys), Pancreatitis, Psoriasis, and Acute Lung Injury and Inhalation toxicity. We are working on inhalational delivery of drugs and formulations to treat lung cancer and pulmonary diseases. In addition, we have facilities to screen new chemical entities (NCEs) for their potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory activity in various in vitro cell line based models. We have facilities to evaluate drug safety evaluation using in vitro and in vivo models. The research work accomplished so far has been published in many of reputed journals and has been widely cited by scientific community
