HUMAN-RELEVANT INFECTION BIOLOGY GROUP

We are an 'Infection-on-a-chip' lab in India

The Human-Relevant Infection Biology Group aims to dissect complex infection states, with a focus on chronic wounds and biofilms, towards developing composite, precision-based infection therapeutics.

We build in vitro human-relevant infection platforms

Dissect host-microbe interactions

Develop and test composite infection therapeutics

Key aspects of our research

Highly Interdisciplinary Approach

Human-Relevant Infection platforms

Special Focus on Biofilms and Wound Infections

Strong clinical interface and translational impact

Our Research Leads to

Insights into complex infection microenvironments

Human-relevant alternatives to animal testing

In vitro Platforms for Pre-Clinical Drug Discovery

Precision-based approaches for infection therapeutics

Drugs developed using animal models may not work in human clinical trials.
