Biography
Martina Stenzel is a Professor in the Department of Chemisty at the University of New South Wales. Her research interests focus on the synthesis of functional polymers with complex architectures such as glycopolymers and other polymers for biomedical applications, especially polymers with in-build metal complexes for the delivery of metal-based anti-cancer drugs. She is currently a Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) University Ambassador. She is also an editor of the Australian Journal of Chemistry and also serves on several editorial advisory boards.

Education
Professor Martina Stenzel studied chemistry (from 1990 - 1996) at the University of Bayreuth in Germany. She continued her postgraduate studies at the Institute of Applied Macromolecular Chemistry at University of Stuttgart, Germany and completed her PhD in 1999. Shortly afterwards Martina moved to Australia to take up a postdoctoral fellows position at the UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology, at the University of NSW, Australia.
