Research Interest
My research Interest focus on designing synthetic functional molecules that can interact with various analytes/bioanalytes (DNA, peptides, proteins) to understand their function and can compute change in optical signals logically as smart molecular devices. In addition, I have interest in covalent conjugation of peptide(s)/DNA(s) with drugs and their targeted delivery (for diagnosis and therapy) to melanoma/wound/lesion disorder tissues that are located at various depth of skin.
Miniaturized Information Processing Device
Pattern-generating molecule can act as miniaturized information processing device such as keypad lock, encoder-decoder, performing steganography etc. Recently, to hide (encrypt) and reveal (decryption) a set of data was achieved by using a pattern-generating chromophore that have ability to interact with multiple analytes as input and generate absorption pattern as output signals.
Targeted Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy is a non-invasive module that is driven by photosensitizer based drug and specific wavelength of light. By covalently conjugating these drug molecules to a peptide i.e. a derivative of melano-stimulating hormone (MSH) that direct towards melanocotin-1 (MC1) receptor which over-expressed in melanoma cells, more targeted and less collateral damage was achieved using LED light of precise wavelengths. This therapeutic module has potential to treat lentigo maligna melanoma.
