个人简介

Marcelo Calderón received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 2007 from the National University of Córdoba, Argentina, under the supervision of Prof. Miriam Strumia. His research topic dealt with the preparation of amphiphilic polymers by dendronization. In 2007 he joined the Research Group of Prof. Rainer Haag at the Freie Universitat Berlin for his Postdoctoral work, where he pursued the development of polymer-drug conjugates for the passive targeted delivery of drugs, genes, and imaging probes. Since May 2013 he is a Junior Profesor for Macromolecular and Organic Chemistry at the Institute for Chemistry and Biochemistry from the Freie Universität Berlin.

研究领域

Polymer Therapeutics

The research interest of our group deals with the development of novel polymer therapeutic concepts. We use responsive dendritic systems and nanogels as smart polymeric systems for the improvement of the therapeutic index of drugs. Our main areas of research are: (1) multifunctional polymer-drug conjugates, (2) self-assembling amphiphiles for the controlled delivery of bioactives, (3) new diagnostic technologies as theranostic approaches, and (4) enviroment-responsive nanogels. Our work is mainly focused on polymer and organic chemistry that is supported by our strong international collaboration network involving biochemists, biologists, medical doctors, etc. with knowledge in areas as gene therapy, cancer therapeutics, topical applications, amongst others.
