Profile Summary

I am a polymer technologist by training, and obtained a PhD in 2015 from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi where I worked on the development of cytocompatible polysaccharide-protein complex networks for wound care and drug delivery. My areas of interest include polymer design and synthesis, drug delivery and regenerative medicine, and nanotechnology. Currently, there are three problems that I am focusing on – antimicrobial surfaces, drug delivery through the blood-brain barrier, and quantum dot detoxification via biopolymer conjugation. The challenges are wide and varied, and I would like to focus on the ‘how, why, what and when’ in that particular order, to design ecologically sustainable polymeric materials for biomedical applications. I am currently working as a freelance science editor - materials science. In this capacity, I curate journal articles, and offer editing support to non-native English speakers.
