Dr. Priyanka Tyagi

BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Priyanka Tyagi joined the Department of Biotechnology, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT) as Assistant Professor in June 2023. Prior to joining JIIT, she worked as Faculty-in-Charge/ Assistant Professor at the School of Engineering & Sciences, GD Goenka University, Gurugram for 7 years. She holds a first-class Masters degree in Science (Biotechnology) from Banasthali Vidyapith, Rajasthan, and was University rank holder. She completed her PhD from Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences, DRDO (reg. from CCS University, Meerut) in 2012. She has qualified ASRB-ICAR-NET 2010, GATE 2005 and DBT-JRF in Biotechnology & Applied Sciences 2004.

In the past, she worked as Project Scientist (Principal Investigator) at the Centre for Biomedical Engineering (CBME), IIT Delhi for 4 years by availing the Women Scientist Fellowship (WoS-A) in Life Sciences. She was associated with academia as Lecturer at Dr KN Modi Institute of Pharmaceutical Education & Research, Uttar Pradesh for 1.3 years. Her areas of research interest include development of novel polymer-based drug delivery systems and formulation development.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

Dr. Priyanka has been involved in the development of smart materials for various biological applications. Currently, she is working in the area of development of materials for chronic and acute wound healing, where she is developing the scaffolds and nanofibers based on biomaterials for wound repair system generation. The biomaterials majorly used are carbohydrate-based polymer systems blended in different ratios and encapsulated with drugs casted into superabsorbent systems and wound dressings. She is also working in the area of biological evaluation of transition metal complexes. The inorganic ligand-metal complexes based on copper and nickel are being explored for possible antimicrobial and anticancer potentials. These compounds are tested and improved for their efficacy and safety profiles.
