ABOUT LOGESH KUMAR SELLAPPAN
I am an academic researcher and Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering with strong expertise in biomaterials, nanobiomaterials, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems, and a sustained focus on translating fundamental research into clinically relevant and regulatory-compliant biomedical solutions.My primary research interest lies in engineering biomaterials and biopolymer-based systems for wound healing, bone and soft tissue regeneration, and controlled drug delivery, integrating principles of nanotechnology, biofabrication, and 3D bioprinting. I work extensively on natural polymer-based hydrogels and composite scaffolds, including materials derived from biological waste, to develop sustainable, multifunctional, and infection-resistant tissue substitutes.A major thrust of my research is the design of smart wound dressings and bioactive scaffolds incorporating herbal drugs, metal oxide nanoparticles, and nanocomposites to achieve enhanced antibacterial activity, biomineralization, and sustained therapeutic release. My work also extends to 3D bioprinted biomaterials and biofabrication strategies for next-generation tissue engineering applications, addressing challenges related to mechanical integrity, porosity, and biological performance.In parallel, I actively engage in translational and regulatory-aware research, with working knowledge of Medical Device Regulations (EU MDR, UK MDR 2002, UKCA, CE marking) and quality and risk management frameworks such as ISO 13485:2016, ISO 14971:2019, performance evaluation of IVDs, and Six Sigma methodologies. This enables alignment of academic research with industry, clinical, and commercialization pathways.I have published in high-impact SCI/Q1 journals, contributed book chapters with international publishers, and presented research at leading global conferences (TERMIS, World Biomaterials Congress) supported by national funding agencies. I actively pursue extramural research funding, including DBT, PM-ECR, and national mission-mode programs, and seek interdisciplinary collaborations with academia, industry, and healthcare stakeholders.My long-term goal is to establish a translational biomedical research program that integrates advanced biomaterials, nanotechnology, and bioprinting to deliver scalable, affordable, and clinically impactful healthcare solutions, while mentoring students and contributing to national research capacity building.
