Shantanu Sur

Shantanu Sur is an Associate Professor of Biology at Clarkson University's Lewis School of Health & Life Sciences, with cross-appointment at the Center for Advanced Materials Processing. He holds an M.B.B.S. from University of Calcutta and Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Indian Institute of Technology.

His laboratory investigates how engineered biomaterials regulate cellular behavior for regenerative therapies. Research focuses include:

• Nanostructured matrices for neural development
• Supramolecular mechanics guiding stem cell differentiation
• Dynamic bioactivity presentation in synthetic scaffolds

His team develops modular biomaterial platforms that mimic native tissue microenvironments to control cell proliferation, migration and differentiation processes.
