Mohit Kumar

Mohit Kumar is a Researcher at the Department of Inorganic and Organic Chemistry within the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Barcelona, leading the Supramolecular Active Materials Laboratory (SAMLab) focused on creating life-inspired functional nanomaterials.

His academic credentials include a Doctorate from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (2014) and a Master's degree in Chemistry from Sri Satya Sai University (2009).

Dr. Kumar's research centers on supramolecular chemistry and molecular self-assembly under equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium conditions, with emphasis on dynamic helical assemblies, chiroptical functionality, and biomimetic materials. His work bridges nanotechnology and biological systems to develop applications in nanomedicine, diagnostics, and adaptive bio-interfaces, utilizing advanced analytical techniques for real-time visualization of nanostructure formation.

Analysis of his publication trends reveals dominant focus on supramolecular systems chemistry, particularly peptide-based transient materials with enzyme-responsive properties, alongside growing integration of chiroptical characterization and biomedical applications in neurodegenerative disease diagnosis.

His key recognition includes the prestigious Ramon y Cajal Fellowship (2021) from Spain's Ministry of Science and Innovation.

As Principal Investigator, he directs major research initiatives including the Ramon y Cajal contract (2023-2027), Molecular Bionics project (2022-2025), SNOOPY peptide therapeutics project (2024-2028), and EU-funded collaborative efforts, with recent grants targeting phospholipid vesicle dynamics, tauopathy diagnostics, and real-time self-assembly imaging.

The SAMLab integrates interdisciplinary expertise in chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology to pioneer adaptive materials that replicate living system functionalities for next-generation medical applications.
