Aryl azides are described as “green reagents as, on heating or on exposure to light, these lead to only a benign loss of nitrogen. In a series of papers on aryl azides Prof. Eswaran’s group have shown their use in “Click” reaction, Solar cells, photomicrolithography & as chemical crosslinkers for studies on protein-protein interactions. Thermolysis […]

Dr. Avinash Bajaj’s lab is involved in the development of new drug delivery systems that tackle the problems of conventional therapy. Drug encapsulation efficacy and release kinetic parameters are critical for the efficacy of liposomal formulations. In this present research; they designed three bile acid- phosphocholine- derived phospholipids that control the encapsulation and release of […]

Dr. Bajaj’s group at RCB in collaboration with Dr. Aasheesh Srivastava from IISER Bhopal are making continuous efforts towards exploring novel antibacterial molecules that could evade the problem of antimicrobial resistance by targeting bacterial membrane. For targeting an even challenging mycobacterial membrane, they are developing amphiphiles to act brilliantly against the hydrophobic lipid rich membranes […]
