Donald A. Tomalia:美国中密歇根大学化学家,最早的关于“树枝状聚合物”的合成报告可以追溯到唐纳德·托马里亚(Donald A. Tomalia)于1987年获得的专利,当时被称为“棒型树枝状化合物”。

获奖成就:发明及开发树枝状聚合物

相关知识:树枝状聚合物,又称树枝化聚合物,是每个重复单元上带有树枝化基元(dendron)的线状聚合物。10多年来,树枝状聚合物在生物医学领域从简单的药物运送载体,到复杂的医疗成像等多个方面都得到了应用,包括纳米级生物传感器、纳米级催化剂等。

Dr. Donald Tomalia is the director of the National Dendrimer Center at Central Michigan University and a serial entrepreneur. During a long and successful career at Dow Chemical, his discovery of dendrimers (dentritic architecture) in 1979 led to his third R&D-100 Award in 1991 and the Leonardo da Vinci Award (Paris, France) in 1996. Dendritech, Inc., the first commercial producer of dendrimers, was co-founded by Dr. Tomalia in 1992, after which, he was named founding President and Chief Scientist (1992-2000). He became V.P. of Technology for MMI (1998-2000) while simultaneously serving as Scientific Director for the Biologic Nanotechnology Center, University of Michigan Medical School (1998-2000). Dr. Tomalia founded Dendritic Nanotechnologies, Inc. (DNT), Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, in a joint venture with Starpharma Pooled Development (Melbourne, Australia) (2002). Presently, he also serves as the DNT Principal Investigator in the Massachusetts Institute for Technology/Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies (MIT/ISN) (2003). He is listed as the inventor of over 110 U.S. patents and is author/co-author of more than 200 peer-reviewed publications.

Donald Tomalia is a world-renowned leader in molecular research and the creator of dendrimers. He is Director of the National Dendrimer & Nanotechnology Center and Distinguished Professor/Research Scientist in the Department of Chemistry - Central Michigan University and external faculty at the University of Wisconsin (Madison)- School of Pharmacy.

As a result of their unique physico-chemical properties dendrimers are suitable for a wide range of novel biomedical and industrial uses. This new branch of supramolecular chemistry should spark new developments in both organic and macromolecular chemistry. Numerous applications of these compounds are conceivable, particularly in mimicking the functions of large biomolecules as drug carriers and immunogens.(生物谷 Bioon.com)
