SMART Molecular Systems Research Group

Dr. D. Amilan Jose is a faculty member and researcher working in the field of chemical biology, bioinorganic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, and functional molecular materials. His research focuses on the design and development of functional metal complexes, molecular probes, fluorescent sensors, and nanomaterials for applications in biomedical science, chemical sensing, therapeutic delivery, and light-responsive molecular systems.

His research interests include small-molecule and metal-based probes, reactive sulfur and nitrogen species, photochemical gasotransmitter release, molecular recognition, antimicrobial systems, and bioimaging. His group integrates synthetic chemistry with spectroscopic, photophysical, electrochemical, and biological approaches to develop molecules and materials with potential applications in health and medical technologies.

Dr. Jose has published extensively in peer-reviewed international journals and is actively involved in research, postgraduate supervision, interdisciplinary collaborations, and development of advanced chemical biology research facilities.

Dr. Amilan Jose has served as a Guest Editor for special issues of Molecules and Frontiers in Chemistry and has peer-reviewed manuscripts for ~100 international journals. Since 2014, he has secured seven research grants totaling more than ₹1.5 crore as Principal Investigator of major funding organizations, including CSIR, DBT, SERB-DST, ANRF.

He is also a recipient of prestigious fellowships and research opportunities from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.
