LIFE-INSPIRED SOFT MATERIALS LABORATORY
CONFINEMENTS, COMPARTMENTS AND COMPLEX SYSTEMS
Hi there!! Welcome to the webpage of Dr. Samanta's Laboratory
Our research aims to create artificial, macromolecularly crowded, compartmentalized systems as synthetic cellular models to study downstream (bio)chemical reaction networks in a (viscoelastic) confined state and to mimic some of the cellular processes (aka. Protocell Research).
We are moving to the Department of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT KGP). If you are interested in joining our team,

DNA NANOTECHNOLOGY
Various tools from DNA nanoscience are used in systems engineering due to their high programmability.
COACERVATES
Phase-separated liquid droplets of proteins and nucleic acids are a suitable means to mimic cellular protoplasm.
PHASE SEPARATION UNDER SOFT CONFINEMENT
Unusual morphological transition and kinetically arrested structures for various downstream applications.
