Bio

Dr. Atul P. Mourya joined as a Assistant Professor at the Amrita School of Pharmacy, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Kochi, India, in September 2025. He obtained his M.S. (Pharmaceutics) from National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) Raebareli, Uttarpradesh, India in 2018 and has completed his PhD thesis in the Department of Phramceutics NIPER Hyderbad, Telangana, India, in 2025.

His primary research focus is on development of lipid/polymer-drug conjugate to improve the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of drug molecules. Apart from that, I have worked on graphene oxide for enzyme immobilization, drug repurposing, and delivery system development to increase the therapeutic efficacy against cancer, pain, inflammation, leishmanial, bacterial, and fungal infections.
