Pankaj VadgamaProfessor Pankaj Vadgama's particular interest is biosensors, where he has developed permselective, biocompatible, and biomimetic polymeric membranes capable of stable transduction in whole blood and tissue. Both in vivo and in vitro work has been unertaken, including the use of miniaturized devices for glucose and lactate monitoring, immunosensing, and interrogation of tissue-material interactions. Current research work includes interfacial problems relating to sensor/biomaterial contact with the biomatrix, and the generalizable insights that may emerge from this. Projects include: spider silk for tissue engineering, materials for implantable electronic devices, microfluidic based separation, cell-surface interactions, biomaterial degradation dynamics, conducting polymers as biomaterials, tissue bioreactor design, and cochlear implant electrodes.
