Education

Dr. Upashi Goswami holds a Bachelor's degree from Osmania University (2008) and a Master's in Biotechnology from Amity University, India (2010). She began her research career as a Junior Research Fellow (2010-2012) on a DRDO-funded project at the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG), India, where she worked on the "Development of Nanoscale Materials for Bacterial Removal from Surface Water" under the guidance of Prof. Arun Chattopadhyay.
In 2012, Dr. Goswami commenced her Ph.D. research at IIT Guwahati, focusing on "Luminescent Gold and Copper Nanoclusters for Theranostic Applications" under the supervision of Prof. Siddhartha Sankar Ghosh and Prof. Arun Chattopadhyay. She was awarded her Ph.D. in Nanotechnology in 2018.
Dr. Goswami was honoured with the INSPIRE Faculty Award (2019) by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. As part of this fellowship, she worked as an INSPIRE Faculty at the Department of Materials Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, from 2019 to 2024. During her tenure, she spent 18 months (2022-2023) as a Visiting Researcher at POLYMAT, collaborating with the Responsive Polymer Therapeutic Group and the Soft Matter for Health Group at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Bilbao, Spain.
In September 2024, Dr. Goswami rejoined POLYMAT, becoming a part of the Responsive Polymer Therapeutic Group, where she continues to use her expertise in nanotechnology, biotechnology, polymer science and to contribute to advanced research.

Research

Her research focuses on the synthesis and development of nanomaterials for applications in drug delivery, antimicrobial treatments, and cancer theranostics. In recent years, she has concentrated on biomaterials for bioprinting, including the creation of 3D cancer models and advancements in tissue engineering. Moving forward, her work will focus on utilizing polymer-based nanomaterials for a broad range of biological applications.
