About

David N. Reinhoudt is a pioneering figure in supramolecular chemistry, nanotechnology, and surface science, whose work has fundamentally shaped the design of molecular materials and interfaces. He is best known for his groundbreaking contributions to non-covalent synthesis, including the development of metallodendrimers and molecular recognition systems, as well as his innovative work in microcontact printing and nanofabrication. His highly cited 2007 paper on dendrimer-mediated transfer printing of DNA and RNA microarrays introduced "dendri-stamps"—PDMS stamps modified with dendrimers—enabling the replication of microarrays with submicron edge resolution. This technique revolutionized the positioning of biomolecules on surfaces, with broad applications in biosensing and diagnostics. With over 30,000 citations and an h-index exceeding 80, Reinhoudt's impact is immense. He has received numerous accolades, including the Spinoza Prize and the Izatt-Christensen Award, and his work continues to inspire advances in molecular electronics, lab-on-a-chip devices, and smart surfaces.
