Research

Our current research initiatives are focused on:

1. Development of engineered tissue constructs (e.g., cartilage and bone-like tissues) to replace diseased or injured organs,


2. Establishment of simple in vitro disease model system (especially for arthritis, degenerative Intervertebral disc) by microfabricating tissue equivalents with precise spatiotemporal and cellular microenvironments, using cells and Textile polymer based constructs (made up of rapid prototyping, weaving, knitting, nonwoven, Fibre-hydrogel composite).
3. To design some 'smart' textile architectures for medical applications, such as Hernia mesh, post-surgical adhesion preventive barrier, etc.
