Anne-Marie Caminade

Anne-Marie Caminade is a Director of Research at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), affiliated with the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (LCC) in Toulouse, France. She has held leadership roles including Deputy Director of LCC (2021-2025) and Head of the Dendrimers and Heterochemistry Research Group since 2006. Her academic career spans over three decades at CNRS, reaching the highest grade (Director of Research Exceptional Class) in 2014.

• Specializes in phosphorus chemistry and dendrimer synthesis
• Advisor to 39 PhD students and 50 Post-Docs
• Recognized with prestigious awards including the Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur and CNRS Scientific Excellence Premium

Her research focuses on phosphorus chemistry and dendrimers, with applications in nanomaterials, catalysis, and nanomedicine. She has pioneered studies on low-coordinate phosphorus, metallic hydride interactions, and phosphorus macrocycles. Since 1993, her work has centered on dendrimers, exploring synthesis, physico-chemical properties, homogeneous catalysis, and biomedical applications.

As a leader in her field, Caminade has coordinated 7 international conferences, including the 5th International Dendrimer Symposium (2007) and the International Conference on Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology (ICONAN, 2016). She has edited 2 books, authored 53 book chapters, and contributed to 500 scientific publications.
