Professional Interests
Dr. Rajadas is currently working on the molecular mechanism of neurodegenerative disorders caused by aggregated tau and abeta proteinsproteins that are synergically involved in Alzheimers disease development. He uses various biophysical approaches such as AFM, fluorescence, and NMR to understand the structural details of neurotoxic oligomeric forms of these two proteins.
For the last 7 years, our lab has also been involved in transforming biophysical ideas into biomaterial and drug delivery technologies. These technologies include microencapsulation of drugs, vascular grafts, bio-implants, development of small molecule and protein-based drugs, regeneration of nerve and cardiovascular tissues, and wound healing applications
