About

Dr. Suman Basak works at the intersection of medicinal and synthetic chemistry, nanomedicine, and biomaterials — a path that has taken him through academia and industry across Denmark, Germany, Belgium, and the UK.

He completed his PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Health Tech, 2016–2019), where his doctoral research centred on designing and synthesising bioinspired polymeric nanomedicines for the treatment of advanced atherosclerosis — work that built him an international collaborative network spanning Canada, Denmark, the UK, and Sweden. He stayed on at DTU as a Postdoctoral Scientist (2019–2022), broadening into bioconjugate chemistry, bioanalytical methods, wound-healing drug delivery, enzyme-responsive nanotherapy, antioxidant nanotherapeutics, and nanoparticle transport across 3D crosslinked cell models. Earlier in his career, a prestigious DAAD fellowship took him to Germany for a master's research internship in collaboration with the Technical University of Dresden.

This trajectory has produced a substantial body of peer-reviewed research on liposomes, nanogels, and hydrogels for drug delivery and enzyme stabilisation, with particular emphasis on cardiovascular drug delivery and skin wound healing through injectable enzyme-immobilisation platforms. His publication record also extends to sprayable nanogels for wound care and the emerging use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in proteomics-driven drug discovery.

Beyond academia, Dr. Basak has carried his chemistry expertise into industry — as Senior R&D Innovation Scientist within Dyson's Personal Care and Biomedical Research Unit in the UK, contributing to personal care innovation, and previously at QustomDot BV in Belgium, where his work on nanorattles and advanced quantum-dot nanoparticle ink formulations supported bioimaging applications.

He remains an active contributor to the scientific community, serving as a peer reviewer for journals including the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, Pharmaceutics, Gels, Biomedicines, and Scientific Reports, among others.
