Nano & Chemical Technology
Our research programs use, nano and chemical technologies individually and in combinations to evolve with novel tools.
Nanotechnology
On-going projects:
1. Use of nano structured iron oxide nanoparticles for developing simple and instrument free DNA isolation system
Publications:Instrument-free, automation and multi-platform ready unmodified iron Oxide based DNA isolation system J Biochem Tech (2012) 3(4): 384-388. Rajani Kanth Vangala, Sridevi G, Veeresh Hugar
2. Developing silica nanoparticles for concentrating proteins from any source (patent pending).
This technology for on-chip assay systems for biomarkers
Chemical Technology
Ongoing research:
