Martina Stenzel studied chemistry at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, before completing her Ph.D. in 1999 at the Institute of Applied Macromolecular Chemistry, University of Stuttgart, Germany. With a DAAD scholarship (German Academic Exchange Service) in her pocket, she started working as a postdoctoral Fellow at the UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia. In 2002, she took on a position as a lecturer at the University of New South Wales and worked within the Centre for Advanced Macromolecular Design (CAMD) on complex polymer architectures via RAFT polymerization and honeycomb structured porous films. In 2007, she got promoted Associate Professor. In 2008, she obtained a prestigious ARC Future Fellowship. Her research interest is focussed 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. Martina Stenzel published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers mainly on RAFT polymerization and 5 book chapters. She is currently the chair of the Polymer division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) and editor of the Australian Journal of Chemistry. She received a range of awards including the 2011 Le Fèvre Memorial Prize.
