AI-Accelerated Drug Discovery

Our research in AI-accelerated drug discovery integrates cheminformatics, QSAR modeling, molecular docking, and deep learning. We work on multi-ligand docking strategies, leveraging transformer-based architectures (like BERT and GPT) trained on SMILES to predict activity, selectivity, and toxicity of small molecules. These methods are applied to targets like HDAC, BCL-2, and MPOX proteins, facilitating the design of synergistic drug combinations.

Portable Biomedical Systems

Watch our FiberGun in Operation.

We design and develop biomedical systems such as portable air quality monitors for ICUs, smart dressing sensors for wound care, and biosensors for detecting pathogens like E. coli and biomarkers for cancer. Our interdisciplinary approach blends embedded systems, electrochemical sensing, and AI signal processing to enable real-time diagnostics and monitoring in healthcare environments.

Green Nanotechnology & HV Bio-Processing

Watch how HVED is applied for sustainable extraction in green nanotechnology.

We are pioneering high-voltage electric discharge (HVED) systems for sustainable extraction of bioactive compounds and protein from plant-based materials such as peanut meal and Moringa. These bioactives are encapsulated in PEG-PLGA nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery. Our work promotes greener extraction methods and biocompatible nanotech platforms for therapeutic use.
