Kaushik, Milan

About this team member

Milan joined the lab in summer 2013 and is studied cell plasma membrane interactions with polymers and polplexes using microfluidic patch clamp studies.  He also worked on molecular mechanics/molecular dynamics calculations of the polymer conjugates being synthesized in the group.   A G5 PAMAM dendrimer is shown below.
