Our team

Behind every DPI programme is a team that connects ideas, people and disciplines. Our colleagues, scientific advisors and supervisory board work closely together to shape the direction, quality and impact of our research. It’s this collaboration that makes DPI a trusted platform for fundamental polymer science.
