Welcome to Bisht Lab
Empowering Innovation through Organic Synthesis Research

RESEARCH
Our laboratory harnesses the power of modern organic synthesis, integrating concepts from organometallic and photoredox catalysis to drive innovation in sustainable transformations and the design of novel redox-active molecules. By uniting traditional synthetic strategies with emerging approaches in peptide functionalization and protein bioconjugation, we seek to redefine reaction paradigms that enable efficient, eco-friendly chemical processes. Our work strives to broaden the impact of synthetic chemistry, from advancing medicinal research to informing the development of next-generation materials.
