The Team
Students interested in joining our lab can choose from research topics such as organic synthesis, catalysis, peptides, and supramolecular chemistry. The lab is led by Prof. V. Haridas and has a team of dedicated researchers who work towards understanding the chemical basis of biological processes and designing newer molecules. Meet our team:
Our Research Lab
Our lab focuses on understanding the chemical basis of biological processes and the structure-based logic of biomolecular behaviors. We conduct experimental investigations using organic synthesis, peptide chemistry, spectroscopic, microscopic, and computational methods. The lab's recent efforts include designing newer molecules and studying their behavioral patterns.
