Bibliography
Jos Paulusse is associate professor at the University of Twente (Netherlands) and group leader at the Department of Molecules and Materials. Jos Paulusse obtained his PhD from Eindhoven University of Technology in 2006 under supervision of Prof. Rint Sijbesma and Prof. Bert Meijer. He worked with Prof. Craig Hawker as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He continued his academic career as assistant professor at Wageningen University in 2009 and in 2012 continued his research at the University of Twente. From 2016 to 2020 he held a part-time position at the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging at the University Medical Center Groningen. He was co-founder of the start-up company SpectriS-dot in 2015, which commercializes silicon nanoparticles, and he founded IntriS in 2023, which develops well-defined polymer nanoparticles. Jos chairs the biennial European Symposium on Controlled Drug Delivery. He is currently associate professor, and his research group develops nanomaterials for early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. These materials include well-defined polymer nanogels for drug encapsulation and controlled release, as well as silicon nanoparticles for application as hybrid imaging modalities.
