Dr. Victor R. de la Rosa
Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer
Victor R. de la Rosa conducted his PhD studies on supramolecular and polymer chemistry at Ghent University (UGent; Belgium), under the supervision of Prof. Richard Hoogenboom.
In 2015, he was awarded a VLAIO post-doctoral grant to develop scalable processes for the production of poly(2-oxazoline)s with a special focus on biomedical applications, resulting in the foundation of the spin-off AVROXA BV. He has co-authored over 40 scientific publications and (co)inventor in more than 5 patent families.
Victor leads the Avroxa team since 2020 and also serves as an advisor for several companies and institutions.

Prof. Dr. Richard Hoogenboom
Co-founder and Scientific Advisor
Richard Hoogenboom studied chemical engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e; Netherlands). In 2005, he obtained his PhD under the supervision of Ulrich S. Schubert (TU/e) and continued working as project leader for the Dutch Polymer Institute; partly combined with a part-time position as Senior Product Developer at Dolphys Medical.
After postdoctoral training with Martin Möller at the RWTH Aachen (Humboldt fellowship; 2008) and Roeland J. M. Nolte at the Radboud University Nijmegen (NWO veni-grant; 2009), he was appointed as associate professor at Ghent University in 2010 and promoted to full professor in 2014.
His research interests include poly(2-oxazoline)s, stimuli-responsive polymers, and supramolecular materials, fields in which he is (co)inventor in more than 10 patent families and has co-authored over 300 scientific publications. He is currently associate editor for European Polymer Journal and Australian Journal of Chemistry.
