The laboratory for electrospun cellular microenvironments (ECM lab) at IIT Hyderabad works at the interface of polymer science, materials processing and biomedical technology. We are broadly interested in understanding structure-property-processing relationships in polymeric biomaterials with the goal of developing soft materials for biomedical applications. A major focus in our lab is the process of polymer electrospinning, which we holistically investigate to gain insights into fiber formation. We use this understanding to rationally design functionalized meshes possessing tightly regulated properties for controlled release applications. We investigate physico-chemical aspects of drug-loaded meshes, study drug release mechanisms, develop strategies for protein functionalization and build technologies to achieve combination therapy.
