Santosh K. Misra

Prof. Santosh K. Misra is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering of the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. His research focuses on biomedical materials and devices for human sustainability, particularly in nanotechnology applications for crop protection, cancer therapy, and drug delivery. He leads the BioMeDHs Lab, which develops biodegradable nanoparticles and smart biomaterials for translatable medical solutions.

Research Themes include:

• Nanoparticle-based diagnostics (e.g., portable eye injury sensors, cortisol detection chips)
• Cancer-targeted therapies (e.g., STAT-3 modulators, photo-thermal DNA degradation)
• Environmental remediation (e.g., oil spill cleanup, pharmaceutical contaminant filters)

Publication Trends highlight innovations in carbon nanomaterials for therapeutic delivery, antibacterial agents, and regenerative medicine. His work spans 2014–2025 with recent emphasis on 3D-printed stents, smart hydrogels, and transdermal melanoma treatments.
