Research

At P-NAS lab we focus on novel ideas pertaining to the synthesis and use of various nanoparticles in healthcare.We belief in the ideology of multidisciplinary collaborations which enables us to integrate newer approaches. Nanotechnology has shown immense potential in tackling problems of modern medicine in recent times, but yet there remains many unanswered questions .........

Our collaborations:

  • IIT- Bombay.

  • ACTREC-TMC -Mumbai.

  • CSIR -CCMB. 

  • NIPER- Hyderabad.

  • LV Prasad Eye Institute.

  • University of Mumbai.

  • Hyderabad Central Univeristy.

Projects

 

  • The Lab is well funded with Projects from MHRD, DST, ICMR and DBT.
