Phosphorus dendrimers: examples of properties in catalysis, materials and biology

Dr. Anne-Marie Caminade gave a lecture on the theme Phosphorus dendrimers: examples of properties in catalysis, materials and biology, addressed to the entire doctoral and professorial staff of the Euromed Faculty of Engineering.

Anne-Marie Caminade is Research Director of Exceptional Class at CNRS, in the Coordination Chemistry laboratory of Toulouse, where she is also Director of the "Dendrimers and Hetero-chemistry" team.

She carried out almost her entire scientific career in Toulouse, including two theses. She completed a postdoc after each of her theses, the first at the French Institute of Petroleum near Paris, the other in Germany, where she obtained an Alexander von Humboldt research fellowship. Her entire career has been devoted to phosphorus chemistry, in various aspects such as coordination chemistry, but especially phosphorus macromolecules like macrocycles and dendrimers. She is co-author of 480 publications, 53 book chapters, editor of 2 books on dendrimers and has an h-index of 67 (more than 14,600 citations).
