Kalyan K. Sadhu is working as an Associate Professor in Chemistry Department at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee.
Area of current research interest Nanobio Interfacial Chemistry & Chemical Biology His group is working on gold nano- and supra-architectures for biological applications such as imaging, recognition and drug delivery. They are much engaged to find the role of amine modified single strand DNA structures into the formation of gold nanoflower. The roles of specific amino acids and their interactions with gold nanoparticles are currently also focused for the detection of single mutation in the peptide sequence. They are using the synthetic chemistry knowledge via "bottom-up" approach for the development of host-guest interaction of small organic molecule with gold nanoparticle. This host-guest combination is being targeted for the detection of peptides in nanomolar concentration. |
