DrAbhishek Gupta

In addition to teaching, Abhishek is an active researcher. His principal research interest is in the areas of the development and characterisation of advanced dressings for wound management. In light of the emerging issue of multidrug resistance, Abhishek is actively working in the area of non-antibiotic therapies, combination therapy of antibiotic-antibiotic and antibiotic-non-antibiotic therapy. Abhishek has published and shared his research findings on the application of non-antibiotic antimicrobials, like metals (silver) and natural and biological products like curcumin, in wound management. His research work also involves synthesis of metal nanoparticles using natural compounds, following the green chemistry approach, for biomedical applications including wound management.

Moreover, Abhishek has worked in the field of personal identification, document examination and relationship between behaviour and genetics. His research in the area of personal identification underpinned the reliability and reproducibility of fingerprint pore area. Abhishek examined the reliability of pore size as a tool in personal identification using photomicrographic images of inked prints, latent prints, direct microscopic images and live scans.
