Do bacteria move faster in viscous media?
Jan 2020–March 2021
-
Performed image processing to track bacteria E. Coli in various viscous polymer fluids to study swimmer behavior.
-
Controlled bacteria motility via magnetic field using magnetic beads tagged to the bacteria flagella
-
Imaged virus in microscopy with 100x + 1.5x zoom
Project |02
Can virus be imaged in a microscope?
Jan 2020–March 2021
-
Performed imaging of knocked out COVID gene virus in 100x+1.5 x Fluorescent microscopy.
-
Counted virus using Nikon particle tracker.
-
Found to be near impossible to image virus and track.

Project |03
Can we track beads in adherent cells?
Jan 2020–March 2021
-
We injected 20-200 nm beads inside adherent cancer cells to later unserdtand the mean square displacement of beads in cell and outside cell regions.

Can we manipulate mitochondria in EMF?
Jan 2019–Dec 2020
-
Imaged mitochondria in a mammalian cell (MDA-MB-231)
-
Applied electromagnetic fields to study the response of mitochondria.
-
Application in advanced mitochondria therapies to implant or translate healthy mito to unhealthy mito regions in cells
Project |05
Can MNPs pass through eye and ear membrane?
Jan 2016–Dec 2019
-
Manipulated custom-made magnetic nanoparticle in biochip, quality checks performed.
-
The same custom made PLGA-MNPs delivered into cochlea for hearing loss applications
-
We also used the same technique to deliver MNPs through eye.
