About me

Prof. Richard Hoogenboom is full professor at Ghent University heading the Supramolecular Chemistry group that focuses on poly(2-oxazoline)s, supramolecular materials and responsive polymers. More specifically, the group focuses on development of biomaterials, including cationic polymers for gene delivery and non-ionic hydrophilic polymer to replace and outperform PEG.

Prof. Hoogenboom is also cofounder of Avroxa BV that commercializes poly(2-oxazoline)s as Ultroxa® and poly(alkyleneimine)s, such as L-PEI, as UltraPEI.
