Research Interest

Dr. Shambojit Roy's research focusses on the delvelopment of cancer targeting molecules and biomaterials for improved photodyamic and chemo therapy. He is particularly interested in the devleopment of advanced drug delivery platforms and novel 3D tumor models such as spheroids, organoids and microfuidic devices, that can mimic the complexities of an actual tumor in vitro.
