Area of Interest

Broad area of research is Cell Technologies which includes in-vitro tissue biology, biological substitutes and functional tissue engineering. The research interest also involves developing new cell based techniques for testing biomedical devices. The lab has the expertise and facility to isolate, characterize and maintain primary culture of Hepatocytes, Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells, Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells, Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Limbal Stem cells, Corneal Endothelial Cells and Skin Keratinocytes

Current studies focus on the development of bioengineered tissues for regenerative medicine as well as for organotypical models. Studies are ongoing in developing 3D in vitro models to bridge the gap between conventional 2D culture and in vivo preclinical experiments. Three Dimensional (3D) Bioprinting is an advanced area of tissue engineering that allows fabrication of biological substitutes with precise geometries harboring living cells. Research on 3D bioprinted tissues for in vitro toxicity screening is ongoing. Development of novel tissue specific bioinks is one of the key aspects of 3D bioprinting. Cell sheet technology is relatively new method in tissue engineering where a thermosensitive polymer grafted surface is used for retrieval of cell monolayer or 3D multilayer without any enzyme treatment. Cells sheet engineering using in-house developed method has been reported for the first time in India. Research is ongoing to address cell sheet transfer to large area tissue defects.

Development of new formulations and new applications of thermoresponsive polymers and bioengineered cell sheet from variety of primary and transformed cells. New ventures are explored to develop functional artificial tissue structures and three dimensional multilayered cell sheets constructs for tissue engineering applications. Efforts are going on to use cell sheet technology and differentiate stem cells such as bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells, hair follicle stem cells etc to get bioengineered tissues. One of the current researches is to find alternate adult stem cell sources for ocular surface regeneration.

Development of degradable scaffolds for skin regeneration.
