7. Brief account of your research interests with special focus on Nano Science and
Technology:
The environmental impact of nanotechnologial applications very rarely appears as a
subject of investigation.
So my
research is to
study the biological effect of
commercially important nanoparticles using conventional end points for checking and
measuring oxidative damage on lipids and proteins, lethality and life cycle changes
on in selected environmentally relevant marine invertebrate and vertebrate species. I
am actively participating in the culture of marine invertebrates in closed cycle
systems.
