Draft:Tanja Weil
| Submission declined on 22 March 2024 by Shewasafairy (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

| Submission declined on 22 March 2024 by Dan arndt (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations.

[edit]Tanja Weil (born September 16, 1973) is a German chemist recognized for her research for in macromolecular chemistry, dendrimers, dyes, protein, and peptides. Currently, Weil holds the position of director at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, where she leads the Synthesis of Macromolecules department. Within this role, her work focuses on the synthesis and development of macromolecules with precise structural characteristics and versatile functionalities. These innovations have implication in various fields, including biomedicine and material science, where they address complex challenges.
Beyond her research endeavors, Weil's serves on several advisory boards, including the Senate of the Leibniz Association and the Leibniz Evaluation Panel. Additionally, her expertise is acknowledged in the academic publishing world, where she holds the role of associate editor for both Journal of the American Chemical Society and American Chemical Society Nano.[1]
Weil was born in Kaufbeuren, Germany, and embarked on her academic journey by pursuing her undergraduate studies in Chemistry at the Technical University of Braunschweig in Germany and the University of Bordeaux I in France from 1993 to 1998. She then went on to pursue her Ph.D. under the mentorship of Klaus Müllen at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer research from 1998 to 2002.[1]
Career
[edit]Following her doctoral studies, Weil has held various positions in academia and industry. From 2002-2008 Weil led the Medicinal Chemistry section and Director of Chemical Research and Development at Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH in Frankfurt.
In 2008, Weil joined the National University of Singapore as an Associate professor. She later served as the Ulm Director at the institute of Organic Chemistry III/Macromolecule Chemistry from 2010 to 2016.
Since 2017, Weil has been a Director at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, where she heads the division of Synthesis of Macromolecules, focusing on the development of innovative macromolecules for various applications (she was part time from February 2016 to December 2016).[1]
Throughout her career, Weil has received numerous awards and grants for her outstanding contributions to the field of chemistry. Some of these include:
- 2014 Award of Research Building & Center for Quantum-Biosciences (Founding Director)
- 2014 Bruno-Werdelmann-Lecture of the University Duesburg-Essen, Germany
- 2013 Solvay Colloquium, Brussels, Belgium
- 2012 European Research Council Synergy Grant, ERC
- 2002 Otto Hahn Medal of the Max Planck Society, Germany
As of recently she has accepted the Netherlands Scholar Award for Supramolecular Chemistry in 2020, and the Karl Ziegler Award from the German Chemical Society in 2023.
Professional Affiliations
[edit]Weil is actively involved in various advisory boards, including member of the senate of the Leibniz Association and the Leibniz evaluation panel. As well as an Advisory Board Member for Biotechnology of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate and Mildred Scheel Foundation for German Cancer Research.
