Our faculty and postgraduates pursue cutting-edge translational research addressing environmental remediation, molecular oncology, indigenous phytomedicines, diagnostic markers, and advanced biomaterials.
Targeted isolation and molecular characterization of heavy metal-tolerant extremophiles from the East Kolkata Wetlands (Ramsar site). Research covers microbial biosensor engineering, bio-augmentation, and wastewater remediation consortia.
High-throughput toxicological evaluation using Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryogenesis, CAM assays, and mammalian cell cultures. Research includes chromosomal aberration screening, genotoxicity assays, and oncogenetic signaling cascades.
Ethnobotanical prospecting of indigenous medicinal flora across Bengal, in-vitro micropropagation, elicitation of high-value secondary metabolites (bacosides, flavonoids), and chromatographic fingerprinting.
Clinical diagnostic method validation, hematological biomarkers, rapid pathogen detection, antibiotic resistance surveillance (AMR), and standardized point-of-care biochemical diagnostic platforms.
Green synthesis of fluorescent carbon quantum dots from agro-waste (onion peels, citrus residues), smart responsive nanogels, porous chitosan microspheres, and targeted biocompatible delivery platforms.
High-impact investigative projects sponsored by Central and State statutory research organizations.
