Therapeutic Human Serum Albumin (HSA) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)
Fibrin as hemostat & wound healing matrix
Fibrin Wafer for Drug (curcumin) Delivery
Increased Drug (curcumin) bioavailability using HSA
Fibrin and Bivalent anti-snake venom avian antibodies for therapeutic use.

Her research expertise also includes Adult Stem Cell-based Tissue Engineering & Regenerative medicine. She has developed fibrin-based, cell-specific extra cellular matrix composition for differentiation of circulating adult stem cells for regenerative therapy (Endothelial cell, Smooth muscle cells, Neurons & Keratinocytes). Her works also included development of hybrid scaffold using biodegradable polymer and biomimetic fibrin composite for small diameter vascular grafts and tissue engineered skin substitutes. Her In vivo animal model preclinical evaluations include Burn & Diabetic animal wound model for skin substitutes, Spinal cord injury model for fibrin aided neural progenitor transplantation, Myocardial infarction model for cardiac progenitor transplantation, Rabbit knee joint inflammation model for the anti-inflammatory function of HSA-Curcumin and Lung cancer (xenograft) model in SCID mice for anticancer property of Curcumin-HSA.

She has more than 100 publications in reputed peer reviewed journals, more than 100 conference proceedings, 7 Indian Patents and 2 US Patents granted to her credit. 10 Patents are under prosecution. She is a manuscript reviewer for several journals on Biomaterials, Stem Cell & Tissue Engineering and an expert project reviewer for funding agencies like TIFAC-DST, ICMR, DSIR, DBT, and KSCSTE- Kerala.
