Biography

Professor Oren Scherman is a leading researcher in Supramolecular and Polymer Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, where he directs the Melville Laboratory for Polymer Synthesis. His research focuses on the synthesis of functional nanosystems and controlled polymer architectures, particularly dynamic supramolecular assemblies and molecular recognition processes. A significant aspect of his work involves understanding the interface between synthetic organic efforts and the macroscopic properties of materials, which he addresses through a macro-organic approach to chemistry. Scherman is particularly interested in the development of water-soluble, stimuli-responsive materials and the exploration of template imprinting technologies for functional polymers. His research interests extend to applications in chiral separations, enantioselective catalysis, and the rational design of multi-step hierarchical self-assembly processes.
