Research

Dr. Biswas is currently focused on mathematical modeling of Plasmodium parasite dynamics in mosquito hosts, particularly investigating skin deposition. Another aspect of his research aims at modeling the random movement of Plasmodium sporozoites within the dermis of rodent species. He is also working on simulating drug delivery dynamics in tuberculosis granulomas, attempting investigate the intricacies of drug penetration and its effectiveness within the tissue.

Previously, Dr. Biswas developed mathematical models to improve the understanding of endovascular drug delivery, with a focus on patient-specific atherosclerotic arteries. These models combine the porous tissue flow and Newtonian luminal flow with irreversible uptake kinetics at the lumen-tissue interface. Through image segmentation derived from intravascular ultrasound, Dr. Biswas accounted for two-phase drug binding—nonspecific (ECM-bound) and specific (REC-bound). His research has shown that while higher absorption parameters increase tissue content, this does not always equate to improved delivery effectiveness. These findings offer valuable insights for optimizing drug therapies.
