Dendrimer Chemistry

Dr. Michael Malkoch earned his PhD in 2003 at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). Between 2003 and 2005, Dr Malkoch joined Stanford University, IBM Almaden Research Center and the Materials Research Laboratory in Santa Barbara (UCSB) as a postdoctoral fellow. He joined the Division of Coating Technology at KTH in 2007 and has been awarded two distinguish awards from the Swedish Council (VR), Assist. Professor fellowship in material science and a senior research position in Biomedical engineering. Most recently he was selected as a KAW Academy Fellow in Engineering Science. His research focuses on developing novel approaches that allows the construction of complex macromolecules that can be introduced in cutting edge fields of materials and biomedical sciences.


Sandra Garcia Gallego received her PhD in Chemistry in 2013 from the University of Alcala under the supervision of Drs. F. Javier de la Mata and M. Angeles Munoz-Fernandez. Her PhD project involved the synthesis of metal complexes and metallodendrimers and their evaluation as antiviral agents. She joined the Division of Coating Technology at KTH in 2013, working as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Dr. Michael Malkoch. In 2015, she was awarded a prestigious Marie-Curie Individual Fellowship to develop advanced dendritic macromolecules for biomedical applications.
