Govindaraju’s research focuses on the intersection of chemistry, biology, and material science, with a particular emphasis on the chemical biology of ‘functional and disease amyloids’.
Utilizing his expertise in organic synthesis, peptide chemistry, bioconjugate chemistry, biophysical techniques, and chemical biology, Govindaraju has tackled complex problems related to human health and society. His work has led to a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms and the development of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
He held a course entitled "Protein and Petide-Based Biomaterials" for PhD students in Chemical Sciences of the University of Florence.
