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.
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
Alternatives to animal testing
Platforms for Pre-Clinical Drug Discovery
Precision-based infection therapeutics
Feature in Nature India (February 2020)
Why infection research in India must become relevant to humans
What works in mice may not work in humans, especially in infectious diseases, argue Surat Parvatam and Karishma Kaushik

SCIENCE POSITIVITY FOR THE WEEK
Heard a fantastic statement from an administrator at an official meeting
“When I am trying to infuse new initiatives into the system, you may not want to help, but the least you should do is not be a liability”.
