Donald Tomalia received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry from the University of Michigan (MI, USA). He received his PhD in physical-organic Chemistry from Michigan State University (MI, USA) in 1968 while working at The Dow Chemical Company (MI, USA). In 1990 he moved to Michigan Molecular Institute (MI, USA) as Professor and Director of Nanoscale Chemistry and Architecture. He has subsequently founded three dendrimer based-nanotechnology companies, Dendritech, Inc. (MI, USA), Dendritic Nanotechnologies, Inc. (MI, USA) and NanoSynthons LLC (MI, USA). Donald Tomalia is currently Director of the National Dendrimer & Nanotechnology Center (MI, USA), CEO/founder of NanoSynthons LLC (MI, USA), distinguished visiting Professor, Columbia University (NY, USA) and affiliate Professor, Department of Physics, Virginia Commonwealth University (VA, USA). He is best known for his discovery of dendrimers and has received several awards for his accomplishments and contributions to science, including the 2012 Wallace H Carothers Award. He has authored over 250 publications, as well as over 128 patents.
唐纳德·汤姆利（Donald Tomalia）毕业于美国密歇根大学（University of Michigan，简称密歇根大学或 UMich），获化学专业文学学士学位。他于 1968 年在美国密歇根州立大学（Michigan State University，简称密歇根州立大学或 MSU）获得物理有机化学博士学位，期间在美国陶氏化学公司（The Dow Chemical Company，简称陶氏化学或 Dow）工作。1990 年，他前往密歇根分子研究所（Michigan Molecular Institute，简称密歇根分子研究所或 MMI），担任纳米化学和架构教授兼主任。此后，他创立了三家基于树状聚合物的纳米技术公司：Dendritech, Inc.（美国密歇根州）、Dendritic Nanotechnologies, Inc.（美国密歇根州）和 NanoSynthons LLC（美国密歇根州）。唐纳德·汤姆利（Donald Tomalia）现任美国国家树状聚合物与纳米技术中心主任、NanoSynthons LLC（美国密歇根州）首席执行官/创始人、哥伦比亚大学（Columbia University，简称哥伦比亚大学或 CU）名誉客座教授、弗吉尼亚联邦大学（Virginia Commonwealth University，简称 VCU）物理系兼职教授。他因发现树状聚合物而闻名于世，并因其在科学领域的成就和贡献获得了多项奖项，包括 2012 年华莱士·H·卡罗瑟斯奖（Wallace H. Carothers Award）。他撰写了 250 多篇出版物和 128 多项专利。
