Vishal Srivastava

Vishal Srivastava works in organic chemistry, focusing on using visible light and photocatalysts (light-absorbing molecules that trigger chemical reactions) to build heterocyclic compounds—ring-shaped molecules common in drugs and dyes. Much of the work involves metal-free or iron-based catalytic methods for forming new chemical bonds, including carbon-sulfur bonds and other functional groups, often aimed at compounds with potential biological activity. Some recent output also touches on applications like photodynamic therapy, antibiotic degradation, and biomedical topics such as hemophilia gene therapy, though the core expertise is in photocatalytic organic synthesis.

Publication output has grown substantially over the past decade, rising from a handful of papers per year before 2021 to a peak of 24 in 2024, with continued high activity in 2025.
