I am a Graduate Student in Praveen's lab from the batch of GS 2014. For past three years, my work has been focused around making platform technologies to reduce pesticide exposure in farmers. I did my Bachelors in Science from Fergusson College Pune and completed my Masters in Science-Biotechnology with specialization in nanomedicine from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay). At IIT Bombay I was working on developing lipo-polymeric nanoparticle aerosol for targeted and triggered delivery of drug combinations for the treatment of lung cancer.

Hi - I joined Dr. Vemula research team during August 2016 as a research trainee. I have completed my Integrated Masters in Applied Chemistry (2011-2016) from NIT Surat. After my training period, I received DST-INSPIRE fellowship to pursue my PhD in this lab. I am here to learn as well as contribute to develop novel biomaterials to solve clinical needs. I'm currently working on development of nanoparticle systems for the sustained release of drug in Inflammatory Bowel Disease cases.

Hi, I am Mahendra K Mohan and have joined in Dr. Praveen’s lab as a research student. I completed my M.Sc in Organic Chemistry from Acharya Institute of Graduate Studies (Bangalore University), Karnataka, in 2016. After that I have joined Praveen’s research team from Nov 2016 and initially here my research work was focused on synthesis of novel organic molecules for biological and anti-bacterial applications. Presently my work has been focused on deactivation of neurotoxic agents.

Hi – I am Suman Pahal, joined Praveen’s Team as a Post-doctoral fellow. I have completed my M.Sc. (Biotechnology) and M. Tech (Nanotechnology) with a gold medal award for the best academic record. I started my research career as a project trainee at National Physical Laboratory, Delhi, focusing on developing polymer-hybrid thin films for various applications. Following my interests in translational research, I joined interdisciplinary PhD at Centre for Nanoscience and Engineering, IISc.
