Rishab Panda

Rishab is a second year graduate student in the Nilsson Group. In his research, he seeks to understand the interactions between novel amphipathic peptides and model lipid membranes. A better understanding of peptide-lipid interactions can lead to the development of novel antimicrobial drugs. In another project, he is working on the development of coacervate-forming small molecules and their potential applications in drug delivery.
