Research in Biosystems Engineering is primarily focused on four themes, namely,
1. Understanding Fundamental Biology
2. Biomanufacturing/Bioprocess engineering
3. Biomedical engineering
4. Diseases and Health
While working with diverse research goals, the group as a whole is committed to various societal problems including AMR, lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis, and cancer. The strength of the group lies in its ability to maintain the fine balance between addressing fundamental questions and developing technologies. Members are active in forging collaborations with industries and clinicians. Two startups and various patents have also come out of the relentless pursuit of excellence by this group. Other than working for healthcare and biomedical technologies, members of the group are also active in enhancing the biomanufacturing and bioprocesses such as production of recombinant proteins and biomolecules using system biology approach. In summary, the group has been working at the frontiers of different socially relevant research areas with a continuously expanding boundary.
