Dr. Kattesh Katti, is focused on unravelling the fundamentals of science that applies those principles
and new concepts in developing new chemical species at the macro and nano scales.
In the ‘nano-domain’, Dr.Katti interested in exploring biophysical, chemical, magnetic, nuclear and
photophysical properties, that are unique to specific nano particulates, toward the design and
development of sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic agents.
Targeted nanoparticles, which are created through the intervention of ‘Katti Peptides’ are being
utilized in the detection of diseases at the cellular/sub cellular levels while radiochemical and X ray
absorption properties of gold nanoparticles, embedded selectively within tumour cells/sites, are
being applied for effective therapy of breast, liver, lung, oral, prostate and pancreatic cancers and
various debilitating diseases which include Osteoarthritis and Parkinson’s diseases. Drug discovery
approaches are built around a clinical translation motif as Dr. Katti strongly believes that discoveries
should translate into value added products to ultimately serve humanity across the globe.
Green nanotechnology is at the focal point of Dr. Katti's approach to pursuing research in
nanotechnology (and molecular medicine) as he strongly believes in the total elimination of toxic
chemicals in the production of engineered nanoparticles.
Toward this end, phytochemicals occluded within plants, herbs or from various sources from Mother
Nature are being used as electron reservoirs in developing 100% green processes for the
development of nano constructs, and a spectrum of molecular medicine-conjugates, for use in a
plethora of medical, agricultural, hygienic (antibacterial/antimicrobial) and technological
applications.
Dr. Katti’s specialized scientific team has great experience in the design, development, modification,
functionalization and characterization of metallic and polymeric nanoparticles and
nanoencapsulations for a variety of applications.
