Rainer Haag PhD

Rainer Haag, born 1968, is Full Professor in Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry at the Freie Universität Berlin. Since 2008 he is the head of a collaborative research center SFB 765 “Multivalency a chemical organization and action principle”. His research interests are dendritic polymers as highly functional polymeric supports for catalysis, macromolecular nanotransporters for DNA- and drug-delivery and protein resistant material surfaces. In 2004 his group was awarded the young investigator NanoFutur award from the German Ministry of Science (BMBF) and in 2010 the Athur K. Doolittle Award of the American Chemical Society (ACS) for their work on “multifunctional nanotransport systems”. He is also advisor for two start-up companies (nanopartica and Dendropharm) that license the group’s technology. With Dendropharm he received the Innovation award Berlin-Brandenburg 2016.
