Dr. Gunter Wulff received his Ph.D. in Bonn in 1963 for a dissertation on the isolation and characterization of glycosidic natural products from plants under the supervision of R. Tschesche. Since 1979 he has held the chair of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry at the University of Düsseldorf. His present research interests include the synthesis of polymers with enzyme-analogous properties through imprinting with template molecules, the synthesis and investigation of optically active vinyl polymers, and the application of renewable resources (monosaccharides and starch) for the synthesis of specialty polymers. Dr. Wulff has served on many select national and international chemical committees and has lectured worldwide. The field of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers was initiated by Dr. Wulff in 1972. |
