The Shiekh lab for bioMaterial Advances in Regeneration and Therapeutics (SMART) is led by Dr. Parvaiz Ahmad Shiekh at the Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi, India. Our research is focused on translational medicine using biomedical engineering and regenerative medicine approaches exploring biomaterials, stem cells, exosomes and immunomaterials. We synthesize and engineer these materials to functionalize them for specific applications. We are committed to bring these technologies to clinic through a benchside to bedside approach.
Our values
At SMART lab we value and pursue new ideas. We believe working in interdisciplinary environment always fostering new and innovative ideas and making every effort to translate these ideas into technologies to improve patient life.
As a group we strive
-
to increase diversity and create an environment to excel
-
to value different perspectives and personal well being
-
to pursue ideas that are innovative and improve patient life
-
to be kind, respectful and inclusive to each other
Research
SMART lab's research is focused on development of advance healthcare solutions to treat and regenerate damaged and diseased tissues. Our research area include regenerative medicine approach where we explore oxygen, biomaterials and exosomes for regeneration in cardiovascular and diabetic conditions. We also design and develop nanotherapeutics and immunotherapeutic materials to treat diabetes, cancer and lung diseases.
