The members of Chemical Sciences Division are currently engaged in research encompassing different areas in Chemical Sciences. These include i) Excited state dynamics using ultra fast spectroscopy; ii) Finding new functions for old drugs: Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs); iii) Applications of conducting polymer based nano materials in biosensing and in developing energy storage devices; iv) Single molecule and ensemble spectroscopic studies of protein folding, misfolding and aggregation; v) Nuclear Chemistry, Radiochemistry and Green chemistry and vi) Neutron interaction, nanoparticle dosimetry and radiation safety. In addition, the division has recently expanded its activity in the area of single molecular spectroscopic/microscopic investigation of complex cellular processes as well as in the gas phase molecular beam spectroscopy/dynamics of the isolated molecules/their clusters to get good testing grounds in resolving many of the complexities found in larger complex molecular network.
