About
Marlies Nijemeisland is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of supramolecular chemistry and nanobiotechnology, with a primary focus on the design and engineering of intelligent, self-propelled nanocarriers. Her most celebrated contribution is the development of enzyme-loaded supramolecular nanomotors, a breakthrough detailed in her highly influential 2016 paper, which has garnered over 300 citations. In this work, she demonstrated the dynamic loading and unloading of proteins within polymeric stomatocytes—bowl-shaped vesicles derived from polymersomes—enabling the creation of self-powered artificial nanomotors that mimic biological motors. This innovation has profound implications for nanomachinery, robotics, and targeted drug delivery. Nijemeisland’s research elegantly bridges synthetic materials and biological function, offering a versatile platform for active transport at the nanoscale. Her work is widely recognized as a foundational step toward practical nanorobotics, and she continues to inspire new directions in responsive, enzyme-driven systems for biomedical and sensing applications.
