Research interests:
Infectious micro-organisms are everywhere and account for ~10% deaths world-wide. While many infectious diseases are treated with antimicrobial agents, their indiscriminate use in the medical and food industry has resulted in antimicrobial resistance among many microorganisms. Hence, it is crucial to develop novel therapies to treat infectious diseases. Currently, many nanomaterials are being considered as therapeutic agents and I am interested in investigating the ability of carbon-based nanomaterials for the treatment of infectious diseases. In addition to investigating the antimicrobial properties of these nanomaterial, I am also interested in studying how human cells interact and respond to these nanomaterials.
