BioNanoMaterials Lab (https://nirmalgoswami.wixsite.com/bnml) focuses on the fundamental and applied aspects of synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications of metallic nanomaterials (nanoclusters and nanoparticles) and functional BioNanoMaterials (peptide, polymer, protein, and DNA based nanocomposites). 

Research Areas Include:

Functional Metal Nanoclusters

The development of new functional nanoscale materials with unique physical, chemical, or electronic properties can bring revolutionary advances in Science and Technology. Our group aims to develop strategies for a new class of functional materials known as, “metal nanoclusters”. These metal nanoclusters (NCs) have recently emerged as a rising star in the research community because of their unique molecular-like properties such as HOMO-LUMO transition, photoluminescence, chirality, redox behavior, etc. They are ultra-small in size (< 2 nm), often considered offering the bridging gap between atoms and nanoparticles. Because of such intriguing physicochemical properties, they have attracted increasing interest from the research community for both basic and applied studies. In our group, we aim to resolve some of the major challenges in environmental science and biomedical science by using metal nanoclusters as core material.

Development of Metal Nanoclusters Based Composites

BioNanoMaterials Lab has a strong focus on the development of novel functional nanomaterials and biomaterials for their use in biomedical applications. We are also interested in the fundamental understanding of the interaction between nanomaterials and biological matter in the perspective to improve the design of such systems. Specific focus areas include:

• Nanogels and Hydrogels 

• Nanocluster-Clay Composites

• Multicomponent hybrid materials

Biomedical Applications
