Gautam Kumar is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Pharmacy, Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, Pilani Campus, Rajasthan, India. He received his B. Pharm. and M. Pharm. degrees from Jamia Hamdard, Hamdard University, India. He did his PhD dissertation at the Department of Natural Products, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) S.A.S Nagar, Punjab, India.
During his PhD, he was involved in synthesizing heterocyclic compounds, including furan, thiophene, dihydroquinoline, and coumarin derivatives as potential anti-tubercular agents. He conducted post-doctoral research at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. During his post-doctoral research work, he was involved in designing and synthesising small bioactive molecules and chemical probes inspired by lipid molecules from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), the causative agent of tuberculosis. He has developed “clickable” chemical probes based on the M.tb virulence-associated glycolipid, trehalose dimycolate, for real-time proteomics and imaging. Currently, he leads a lab in the area of Natural Products at the Department of Pharmacy, Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, Pilani Campus, with a focus on bioassay-guided fractionation of extracts, isolation of natural products, phytopharmaceutical formulation development, and synthesis of biologically active molecules.
