Dendrimers and supramolecular interactions for the design of multivalent objects

Objetivo

The project of the post doctoral stay of the candidate in the Laboratory of Macromolecular and Organic Chemistry is depicted in this proposal. The host group, headed by Prof. E. W. Meijer, plays a world leading role in the fields of supramolecular chemistry and dendrimers. Because of their well defined structure and multivalent character, dendrimers are promising nanoscopic structures for biomedical applications, including imaging and drug delivery.

The research interest of the candidate as a predoctoral re searcher has been the design and characterisation of new liquid crystalline materials based on dendrimers. With this project the candidate aims at getting experience in the study of dendritic systems in solution, specially in aqueous media envisaging biomedical applications. The techniques needed for these studies and the training required are available at the host organisation which also has as its first priority the training of young researchers.

The candidates scientific background fits perfectly the pro file of a postdoctoral fellow in the host research group. The experience gained by the candidate with this project is also of interest for the recently founded Institute of Nanoscience at his home university. Furthermore this postdoctoral stay is also aimed to be the starting point of future collaborative research work between the host group and the home university of the candidate. We would like to focus our investigation in the preparation and characterization of guest-host systems stable in water based on dendrimers.

We are interested in the analysis of the complexation between guest and host by mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, light scattering and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. The host group have experience in training at an advanced level within the field of research, as well as outstanding equipment for these studies.
