Lipid Phase Behaviour

By carefully selecting a set of lipid molecules, one can engineer and thereby predict their behaviour for self-assembling nanostructures. The classical phase behaviour of various lipids can be further fine-tuned by adding chemical and biological molecules and by modulating physicochemical triggers such as, temperature, pressure and shear.

Our projects involve basic understanding, calculation of molecular level parameters, fine-tuning and application driven studies of lipid nanostructural behaviour.
