معرفی
Oren Scherman is a Professor of Supramolecular and Polymer Chemistry at the University of Cambridge and Director of the Melville Laboratory for Polymer Synthesis. He is a Fellow at Jesus College, where he also serves as Director of Studies in Natural Sciences (Chemistry) for Parts II and III, and Acting Director for Part IB (Lent and Easter 2025). His research focuses on dynamic supramolecular self-assembly at interfaces, leveraging cucurbit[n]uril-based host-guest chemistry to develop novel materials and drug delivery systems.
Education: BA (summa cum laude) in Chemistry from Cornell University (1999), PhD in Chemistry from Caltech (2004). Awards include the Cram Lehn Pedersen Prize (2014), Corday Morgan Prize (2018), and Walters-Kundert Next Generation Fellowship (2006). His work spans functional nanosystems, stimuli-responsive materials, and biomaterials for medical applications.
Research trends in his articles emphasize SERS-based biosensing, conductive hydrogels, and drug delivery systems. Recent studies explore meta-analyses of urinary metabolites, pH-responsive vesicles, and fractal nanoparticle assemblies. His lab’s innovations include materials mimicking brain tissue mechanics for glioblastoma treatment and machine learning-driven SERS quantification.
Awards highlight his contributions to supramolecular chemistry and materials science. Grants and collaborations likely support his work on energy storage, biocompatible pigments, and sustainable fiber technologies. He leads the Melville Laboratory, a hub for polymer synthesis and functional materials research. Outside academia, he enjoys wine, travel, and languages.
