Dr. Régis Laurent studied chemistry at the University of Toulouse, where he obtained his doctorate in 1994. After postdoctoral work at the University of Saarbrücken and the University of Toulouse, he obtained a CNRS research position in the Dendrimers and Heterochemistry team in 1996. Since 2010, he has been involved in the running of Technopolym (a polymer analysis service), and since 2021, has been Deputy Director of the Institut de Chimie de Toulouse (UAR 2599). His research focuses on the synthesis of phosphorus-containing dendrimers and dendrons, the synthesis of dendritic ligands and corresponding transition metal complexes for homogeneous catalysis, incorporation of dendrimers in materials, biological applications of dendrimers (anti-cancer, antibacterial agents), and characterization of dendrimers (NMR, SEC, DLS).
