Dr. Subodh Kumar is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, School of Bioscience and Technology at Galgotias University, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. He earned his Ph.D. in Life Sciences from the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS), Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Delhi in collaboration with Bharathiar University, Coimbatore, Tamil nadu, India. His doctoral research focused on the identification and evaluation of stem cell proliferators and the development of bioengineered scaffolds for soft tissue repair and regeneration.

Dr. Kumar’s interdisciplinary research expertise spans stem cell biology, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and computational biology. He has made significant contributions to understanding the mechanisms of STAT3 stabilization and its role in enhancing cell proliferation, and he has developed functional 3D constructs for volumetric tissue repair. His skillset includes hands-on experience with advanced techniques such as 3D bioprinting, electrospinning, lyophilizer, Stem cell isolation and characterisation (MSCs, HSCs), Development of various animal injury models, MRI and CT scan data analysis, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, qPCR, Western blotting, and scaffold characterization (SEM, FTIR, NMR, XRD). He is also proficient in data analysis using Python and R. To his credit, Dr. Kumar has published 25+ research and review papers in reputed international journals indexed in Scopus and SCI, with h index 7. He also holds a copyright and has applied for a patent on a bioengineered cornea. Dr. Kumar had also selected for prestigious Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI), Los Angeles, USA. Previously, Dr kumar was associated with department of Biotechnology at Delhi Technological University, Delhi as an Assistant Professor.
