Self-assembly of peptides and peptidomimetics.
Peptide based nanostructured materials have drawn a significant amount of attention due to their novel properties. Different kinds of peptide based self-assembled architectures have been constructed in our lab during the past decade.

Self-aggregating systems from pharmaceutical molecules as delivery vehicles and sustained release.
Amino acid-based drug carriers in particular are useful due to their biocompatibility, recognition properties and hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance for solubilizing and targeted delivery of highly hydrophobic antitumour and anti-depressant drugs and statins. Unprecedented functional and structural diversity can be achieved from synthetic non-coded amino acids with well-defined stereochemical and functional properties.

Peptide based therapeutics.
Peptides have long been considered to hold great potential as therapeutic drugs. They provide promising drug scaffold for drug discovery from the angles of various physical, chemical and biological aspects. They can unlock a universe of protein targets and protein-protein interactions that are often considered as 'undruggable' using conventional methods. However, the shortcomings of peptides as pharmaceutical products such as typically short duration of action, lack of receptor subtype selectivity, lack of oral bioavailability have been long known. Due to proteases, opsonization and agglutination, free peptides are not systemically stable without modifications. Overcoming all these issues, we have recently developed two peptide based therapeutics.

Development of sensors for small molecules.
With increasing pollution level, it is becoming very much urgent to detect those pollutants present in our environment. So detection of small molecules or ions by absorption or emission spectroscopy is currently a hot topic. In this field recently we are working to design and synthesize different molecule and ion sensors.

Nanoreactor.
Nanoreactors are a form of chemical reactor that are particularly in the disciplines of nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology. Whole over the world, chemists have worked to understand how fundamental chemical principles change when systems are confined to spaces with nanoscale dimensions. In our lab we are also trying to form some paptide based nanoreactor to understand the same.
