Prof Ashutosh Kumar, is working as a Professor in the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, IIT Bombay, Mumbai. His work involves studying the structure and mechanism of action of protein complexes such SCF complex, specialized Nucleosome, and amyloid fibrils using state of the art solid- state and solution-state NMR spectroscopy along with other Biophysical tools. Ashutosh has made significant contribution in developing NMR methods and applying those on complex biological macromolecules to deduce structure and dynamics of these molecules. In recent time, he started working in the field of Biopharmaceuticals where he develop novel NMR methods to investigate HOS of Biosimilars and Biologics in their formulation states.

Prof. Kumar received his M.Sc. in Chemistry from IIT Delhi followed by his Ph. D. at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai supervised by Prof. R. V. Hosur in 2007. He did his postdoctoral research work under the supervision of Prof. Marc Baldus, Prof. Adam Lange and Prof. C. Griesinger at MPI for Biophysical Chemistry Gottingen, Germany before coming back to IIT Bombay.
