Research Interests
Exploring the translation of scientific concepts into practical applications across medicine, regenerative science, materials, biology and human health. 01 — TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH • Translating bench-side technologies in in vitro cell culture and tissue engineering to bedside applications • Nanomaterials and polymers for regenerative medicine 02 — BIOMIMETIC SYSTEMS • Studying complex physico-chemical-biological interactions • Developing in vitro biomimicking systems using nanomaterials and controlled environments. 03 — HEALTHY AGING & SENESCENCE • Reversal of cellular senescence and exploration of healthy aging • In vitro and in vivo studies across varied physico-chemical-biological environments, including zero-gravity. 04 — IMMUNE SYSTEM & ADAPTABILITY • Development and evolution of the immune system • Poly-extremo tolerance and adaptability across the ladder of phylogeny. 05 — GUT MICROBIOME & IMMUNOMODULATION • Gut microbiome and immune balancing • Immunomodulation and the role of pre-biotics. 06 — GUT-BRAIN AXIS • Gut microbiome, immune systems and gut-brain interactions • Alpha-synuclein misfolding and its implications for neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases.
Projects Pursued
FROM CONCEPT TO REAL-WORLD APPLICATION • Corneal limbal stem cells and endothelial progenitors. • Hybrid Artificial Corneal Prosthesis. • Hepatic progenitors for drug toxicology screening. • Natural killer cell-based immunotherapy for cancer and viral infections. • Human monoclonal antibodies for cancer. • Cell-based therapies for anti-aging. • In vitro expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells. • NTissue engineering of human chondrocytes. • Nanomaterial-based scaffolds for cell culture and tissue engineering. •Dental stem cells and their applications in regenerative medicine. • Autologous buccal mucosal cell-based therapies for male urethral stricture. •Novel yeast strain-produced polysaccharides for human health and aging.
