3	AB0100001	Arpan Bhattacharyya	Application of Information theoretic tools in quantum field theory and gravity (AdS/CFT)	In recent times, it has been shown that using the tools of quantum information theory(for example, measures of entanglement, complexity etc) one can gain important insight about gravity, especially in the framework AdS/CFT correspondence, commonly known as “Holography”. In general many of these important quantum information theoretic tools are very difficult to compute. But AdS/CFT has provided us with simple and elegant geometric methods to compute them and this in turn has initiated a plethora of interesting studies involving application of these information theoretic tools not only in the context of high energy physics but also in condensed matter, statistical physics etc. Main goal of this project will be to understand and work out in detail some of the important papers in this field and understand them thoroughly (for example geometrical meaning of measures of entanglement, complexity etc in the context of AdS/CFT and their application to black hole physics). This will be basically a reading project which will help us learn thoroughly the subject and develop the tools. Then after gaining sufficient knowledge, target will be to apply these tools to tackle some interesting toy problems.

10	BDD0000002	BHATIA DHIRAJ DEVIDAS	DNA nanodevices to program stem cells	Biofunctionalized, targeted Hydrogel-based nanomaterials have proved excellent materials for bioimaging, drug delivery in both in vitro cell culture and in vivo animal studies for multiple disease models. However, each device must be custom synthesized for a particular set of targeting molecules, imaging agents, and desired therapeutics. Using the principles of Structural DNA Nanotechnology, we propose a simple modular approach to realize DNA based Hydrogels in multiple designs by programming stoichiometries, geometries of the DNA modules. Further, the surface of DNA is extremely robust allowing functionalizing, drug loading, cellular targeting, imaging, and therapeutic Hydrogels to be combined into multifunctional therapeutics simply by annealing the mixtures of these components. This project will involve the preparation of distinct DNA monomer building blocks that contain branched DNA junctions tethering three-six DNA sequences. Self-assembly of these monomers by complementary hybridization generates supramolecular DNA nanoscale or mesoscale Hydrogel like architectures. The result of Hydrogel assembly comes for regular array of DNA sequences, similar to macroscopic lattices. The initial phase of the project will involve bioengineering designs and synthesis of complementary oligonucleotides either having ability for self-assembly into Hydrogels or conjugated to poly(amido)amine Hydrogels or dendrons resulting in the desired structural geometries, topologies and possessing specific ligand stoichiometry. All the designs of DNA Hydrogels will be functionalized with different targeting peptides, in collaboration with Prof. Sharad Gupta (co-PI, IIT GN). The robustness of these devices will be assessed using well-defined targeting molecules (transferrin, folic 5 acid, antibodies against EGFR, integrins, CD44, CD98, CD147, as well as peptides like RGD peptides), drugs (geftinib, methotrexate, Taxol, cis-platin and doxorubicin), imaging agents (fluorescent dyes, quantum dots, nanodiamonds). All the Hydrogel designs will initially be characterized using techniques including PAGE, HPLC, CE, Mass Spectroscopy, NMR, AFM, The regular pores like structure in Hydrogels should permit the sequestering or the timed release of macroscale pharmaceuticals or other agents like bioimaging entities. We will characterize the pore structure and determine how porous these materials are to selected macromolecules or nanoparticles using techniques like SEM, AFM, etc. Further these designs will be characterized in-depth for multiple parameters using different rheological techniques like stiffness, softness, size measurements, zeta potential in collobaration with Prof. Prachi Thareja (co-PI, IIT GN). Through hybridization of appropriate conjugates, it will be possible to create arrays of bound biologicals as well as non-biologicals such as fluorophores, nanoparticles and quantum dots. Once having confidence in synthesizing and characterizing these DNA based Hydrogels, we will test these DNA-linked nanodevices for binding and internalization in vitro; the avidity and specificity of binding will be examined using CD, differential calorimetry and Biacore analyses (all facilities available at IIT GN). Devices carrying therapeutics will be tested for effectiveness at inducing cell death, and all devices will also be tested for inherent cytotoxicity (using well established MTT assays and ELISA tests). Further, we will investigate in-depth the effectiveness of the Hydrogel linked therapeutics to treat tumours ex-vivo. At IITGN we have established fully operational facilities to create and characterize miniaturized tumour models called spheroids. These devices will be exposed to tumour models under various conditions of stress including growth factor stress, osmotic shocks, hypoxia, etc and the ability of these devices to be uptaken and release of drugs will be tested using high throughput imaging platform available at IIT GN. This platform technology has the potential to revolutionize smart therapeutics and facilitate the concept of screening and treatment supporting the emerging concept of personalized medicine.

32	KPMS000001	Karla Patricia Mercado-Shekhar	Biomedical ultrasound imaging for characterizing tissues	Changes in tissue structure are associated with various diseases. Effective diagnostic techniques are needed to differentiate tissue structure between disease stages. Ultrasound is a relatively low-cost and accessible imaging modality. However, conventional brightness-mode ultrasound imaging provides limited information about tissue structure. The goal of this project is to develop non-conventional quantitative ultrasound backscatter techniques that can be used to assess changes in tissue structure at different disease stages. These techniques extract quantitative information from backscattered signals by compensating for physical and system parameters. Characterization of tissue structure are based on parameters that represent the number, size, and organization of tissue scatterers, which can change due to disease. To achieve our project goal, we will pursue the following objectives. First, we will simulate the quantitative backscatter imaging techniques in the numerical simulation tool MATLAB, and then implement them using a prototype mechanically-scanned ultrasound system. Second, we will develop tissue-mimicking numerical and hydrogel phantoms for validating the proposed ultrasound techniques. Based on the interest and skill-set of the students, the project can be tuned to emphasize either numerical simulations or experimental studies. Skills in MATLAB and/or electronic instrumentation will be helpful for pursuing the project objectives. The expected learning outcomes for students include in-depth experience of biomedical imaging simulations, experimental measurements, and image processing using MATLAB.

Coolidge (whose expertise is in brains and brain evolution). Professor Coolidge will provide the CAD scans of the reputed brains for each of the 10 skulls, which represent human evolution for the past 4 million years. Professor Channarayapatna with the intern’s help will supervise the printing of the skulls by IITGN Engineering Professor Shanmuga possesses the 3D printer and has agreed to print the 10 replica brains. The results will be the first teaching museum/laboratory in the world that displays these 10 skulls with these 10 replica brains. Thus, the project is a multi-disciplinary endeavour with multi-disciplinary faculty. Expectations of the Intern: The intern will be expected to download the CAD scans from Professor Coolidge, see that they are delivered to Professor Shanmuga, ensure that they are of appropriate color (live brains are pinkish-red) and shape (often 3D scans must have excess material scraped away). Professor Channarayapatna will supervise the intern’s work in this latter regard. The intern will then be responsible for the transfer of the brains to Professors Kanungo and Channarayapatna for their appropriate and safe display for all students and faculty of IITGN, thus, as aforementioned, creating the only museum/laboratory in the world with such a display.
