Dendrimers, Dendrons, and Dendritic Polymers - Discovery, Applications, and the Future

Informationen zum Autor Donald A. Tomalia is presently Director of the National Dendrimer and Nanotechnology Center and Founder/President of NanoSynthons, LLC. He is internationally recognized as a pioneer in dendrimers, dendritic polymers, dendrimer-based nanomedicine and a new nano-periodic system for defining and unifying nanoscience. Active in both academia and industry, Tomalia is an Associate Editor of Nanomedicine (Elsevier), the founder of several dendrimer production companies including, most recently, NanoSynthons, LLC (2010) and Dendritic Nanotechnologies, Inc. (2001), a subsidiary of Starpharma. Jørn B. Christensen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen. He has a background in organic chemistry and has worked in many different areas ranging from organic superconductors to non-antibiotics. Ulrik Boas is an Associate Professor in the National Veterinary Institute at the Technical University of Denmark. He received his Ph.D. in Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry in 2002, prior to which he gained several years of experience working in the biotechnology industry.
