Indrani Nayak's research combines mathematical and computational modeling with experimental immunology to study how immune cells, especially natural killer (NK) cells and engineered CAR-NK/CAR-T cells, recognize and kill target cells such as tumor cells or bacteria. Earlier work applied physics-based models of random motion and search strategies to problems like how cell division machinery locates chromosomes, and how bacteria evade immune defenses. The overall direction is to use quantitative modeling to predict and improve immune cell behavior and cancer immunotherapy design.
Publication output was low or intermittent from 2017-2023 but has increased notably in 2024-2026, suggesting a growing and increasingly active research output in recent years.
