🎉 Finally published in its final form! 🎉

I am delighted to share that our review article,

📖 “Functionalized M*F–Polymer Composites: A New Frontier in Chemistry for Global Health”

has now been finally published in Chemical Communications (ChemComm), Royal Society of Chemistry.

This review provides a concise perspective on the design, functionalization, and biomedical and environmental applications of M*F–polymer composite systems, with particular emphasis on their potential in drug delivery, antimicrobial and antibiofilm applications, tissue engineering, biosensing, bioimaging, water purification, pollutant removal, and toxic gas capture. The article also discusses the current challenges and future opportunities for translating these multifunctional materials toward sustainable solutions for global health.

I am very happy to have completed this work together with my co-author Disha Ghosh. Her dedication and contributions were instrumental throughout this journey. 🌸

📌 The article is now available online in its final published form. Interested researchers and colleagues are most welcome to read and explore the review.

🎉 New Research Publication! 🎉

We are delighted to share that our latest research article entitled "Biointerface-Engineered Gelatin–Silver Nanoparticles for Targeted Gene Delivery to Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells" has been published in the Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology.

This work presents a biointerface-engineered gelatin–silver nanoparticle platform capable of selectively targeting hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells while simultaneously serving as an efficient non-viral gene delivery system. By engineering the nanoparticle surface with low-molecular-weight polyethyleneimine (bPEI), we achieved enhanced plasmid DNA delivery with transfection efficiency surpassing the commercial transfection reagent Lipofectamine® 2000. The study also demonstrates selective cellular uptake and apoptosis in HepG2 cells, highlighting the promise of this multifunctional nanoplatform for liver cancer therapy.

Congratulations to Sumedha Das , Disha Ghosh, and Debleena Ghosh for your hard work for this work. Wishing you many more scientific achievements ahead!
