Research summary
AI-generated

Anirban Bhunia's research focuses on the structural biology and biophysics of peptides and proteins, particularly antimicrobial peptides (small molecules that kill bacteria and fungi), protein misfolding diseases like Alzheimer's and diabetes-related amyloid formation, and how these molecules interact with cell membranes. The work combines techniques such as NMR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and biophysical characterization to understand protein structure and behavior at a molecular level, with applications in developing new antibiotics and treatments for protein aggregation diseases. Note that some listed publications (e.g., on urology and surgical procedures) appear unrelated to this core research area and may reflect a shared author name or database indexing issue.
