Shilpee Jain is deeply involved in biomedical research and entrepreneurship. Her expertise spans hyperthermia, cancer therapeutics, medical microrobots, translational research, tissue engineering, and magnetic/carbon nanomaterials.

She also worked as an INSPIRE Faculty Fellow at the Center for Biosystems Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, for five years and developed innovative biomedical devices. She co-founded MagHeals Private Limited, translating her research outcomes for clinical applications.

She has secured significant research grants, including the BIG BIRAC grant and the INSPIRE Faculty Award, recognising her contributions to the field.

Shilpee Jain’s research output is also evident through her publications in reputable international journals, such as Biomaterials, Carbon, Nanoscale, and Hyperthermia. 

Research Interest

We are a team of bioengineers developing micro/nanodevices for various biomedical applications. The major focus of our work currently is the efficient intracellular delivery of biomolecules using external stimulations for better therapeutic outcomes. We are also interested in developing smart degradable bandages for wound healing, which can support the regenerated tissue and enhance rate of recovery by providing external electrical stimulation.
