Pilani, Rajasthan, India
Joined March 2026

Summary

Focused researcher in topical and dermal nanomedicine — Abhay Tharmatt’s work centers on designing and characterizing nanocarriers (lipid and lipopolymeric nanoplexes) and carbopol‑based gels to enable delivery of macromolecules and gene‑editing cargo across skin barriers, with demonstrated ex vivo and in vivo permeation and low toxicity. rsc+2
Developer of CRISPR/Cas9 delivery systems for dermatological targets — he is an author on work developing lipopolymeric nanoplexes to deliver Cas9 RNPs targeting VEGF‑A for psoriasis models, reporting formulation characterization, gene‑editing activity (indel frequencies), and therapeutic effects in preclinical studies. nih+1
Productive academic contributor and presenter — maintains a Google Scholar and ResearchGate research profile, has multiple peer‑reviewed publications and preprints (2022–2025), and has presented work at conferences; research spans formulation science, nanocarriers, and translational applications for skin and ocular delivery. google+2
Collaborative researcher across institutions — publications and projects list collaborations with groups at BITS Pilani, IIT Bombay, ILBS, and UNSW, indicating interdisciplinary teamwork on formulation, biological evaluation, and gene‑editing delivery challenges. nih+2
