Biography

Marcel van Genderen is an Associate Professor in the Bio-organic Chemistry research group at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Netherlands. He graduated cum laude in Chemistry from TU/e in 1984. After that, he joined the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry at TU/e to perform his PhD research on the conformational behavior of DNA analogues, which he completed in 1989. Following his PhD, he became an assistant professor and in 1995 took a sabbatical leave to work with Professor Hans Wolfgang Spiess at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany, focusing on solid-state deuterium NMR of supramolecular complexes. By 2002, he was appointed as an associate professor at TU/e in the Laboratory of Macromolecular Organic Chemistry and subsequently served as part-time Director of Education for the Department of Biomedical Engineering from 2006 to 2018. His research primarily involves the application of NMR spectroscopy to analyze complex molecular structures in the field of bio-organic chemistry.
