Partima Solanki
The NanoBioGroup at SCNS, JNU is lead by Dr. Partima Solanki. The main research area of the group is the integration of nano-technology methods, tools and materials into various biosensor platforms for applications in environmental and clinical analysis. Presently, miniaturization of medical diagnostic tools has the potential to restructure our healthcare systems for which microfluidic point of care biosensors open the doors. The group is working on microfluidic biosensors. Also pesticide biosensors for food and environmental safety are also being studied. Heavy metal detection and water purification is also the area of research in the group.
Dr. Solanki received her Ph.D. degree in biological sciences from Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak, Haryana, India. She worked as a postdoctoral fellow at National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi, Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, New Delhi and Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT), Japan. Dr. Solanki has received prestigious fellowships/awards as the Fast Track- Young Scientist Award from the Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi, India and Senior Research Associateship (SRA)/pool Scientist from the Council of Scientific Industrial Research sponsored. She actively engages in the synthesis of nanomaterials (carbon dots, metal and metal oxides nanoparticles, nanofibers) and their nanocomposites with biopolymers/conducting polymers and self-assembled monolayers. She is co-author of more than 175 research papers published in reputed International and National Journals, 16 International book chapters with citations around 7514, H-index 46 (according to google scholar). She has filed 15 Indian patents (Two patents granted). She has completed/running various research projects granted from funding agencies such as DST, DBT, ICMR and UGC. She has healthy collaboration with reputed Scientists at the National and International levels. She has delivered invited lectures on various National (35) and International (20) platforms such as conferences/seminars/symposiums, etc. She has served as a founder member and life-member of various Scientific Societies. She actively engages in the research and development of biosensors utilizing nanostructured materials for healthcare and environmental monitoring. She has received Visitor Award 2019 from the President of India.
