Faculty note: Bakshi publication

Assistant Professor Mandeep Singh Bakshi (Natural and Applied Sciences) has a research article, Bipyridinium and Imidazolium Ionic Liquids for Nanomaterials Synthesis: pH Effect, Phase Transfer Behavior, and Protein Extraction, published in the “ACS Sustainable Chem. Eng.” (ACS journal). Rajni Aggarwal, Poonam Khullar, Divya Mandial, Aabroo Mahal, Gurinder Kaur Ahluwalia, and Mandeep Singh Bakshi. “This manuscript is related to the synthesis, characterization and applications of ionic liquid coated nanomaterials for protein extraction. We show that by carefully selecting the functional group of ionic liquid, it is possible to selectively extract protein fractions from complex biological fluids which are otherwise difficult to separate, with possible ramifications in nano-biotechnology.”
