Lab summary

Scott G. Mitchell is a Scientific Researcher of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) at the Aragón Nanoscience and Materials Institute (INMA). His research sits at the interface of fundamental synthetic chemistry and applied materials science.

The lab develops advanced functional materials to address challenges in healthcare, environmental sustainability, and cultural heritage preservation. Research focuses on the design of redox-active and responsive materials, including polyoxometalates, nanoparticles, polymeric systems, and hybrid materials.

Through molecular-level design and synthesis, the team tailors chemical structure to control material function, using insights from material–surface and material–biological interactions to inform rational optimization for real-world applications. The lab works in a highly interdisciplinary environment spanning chemistry, biotechnology, and heritage conservation-restoration.
