OverviewAI-generated summary

Suresh Thallapuranam's research focuses on the structural and functional characterization of proteins, with a particular emphasis on fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their therapeutic potential. He has investigated engineered FGF1 and FGF2 compositions and explored methods for their use, including the development of hyper-stable FGF1-FGF2 based therapeutic formulations for wound care. His work also delves into the structural forces that stabilize FGF1-FGF2 dimers and examines the effects of targeted mutations on FGF1 stability.

Beyond FGFs, Thallapuranam's research extends to the interactions of polyphenols with proteins. This includes studies on how polyphenol-protein interactions affect the rheological properties of purple waxy rice and how polyphenol-induced structural modifications in sorghum influence pasting properties. He has also contributed to the understanding of protein structure by examining transient local secondary structure in intrinsically disordered protein regions.

Thallapuranam has secured significant federal funding as a Principal Investigator, totaling over $2 million across six awards. These grants support diverse projects, including research on SARS-CoV-2-mediated valve disease using microphysiological tissue-chip models, the development of therapeutic formulations for wound care, translation potential of heart model platforms, sustainable chemistry synthesis, skin autofluorescence imaging for wound healing assessment, and template-directed synthesis of metal oxide and chalcogenide nanoshells.
