About the Group
The group's field of work and goals.
The Biomedical Research Group investigates the development and characterization of biomaterials and functional polymers and their interactions with biological systems. Our work covers tissue engineering scaffolds, polymeric hydrogels, wound dressings, surface coatings for metallic implants, and nanoparticle-containing materials. We evaluate physical, chemical, and mechanical properties alongside cell–material interactions.
We produce nanostructures through green synthesis approaches using plant extracts and examine their biocompatibility, cytotoxicity, antimicrobial activity, and antileishmanial activity. Our research also includes controlled drug release, biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles, and paper-based microfluidic diagnostic systems. We aim to experimentally examine relationships between material properties and biological responses in biomedical applications.
