Overview

SyMO-Chem B.V. is a contract research organization (CRO) specialized in organic and polymer chemistry, headquartered in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The company positions itself as an agile, outcome-driven CRO embedded in the Dutch Brainport Region's high-tech ecosystem, blending more than 25 years of industrial know-how with state-of-the-art academic infrastructure. Its stated mission is to help companies and research groups develop innovative and sustainable technologies, offering a complete platform from conception to commercialization. SyMO-Chem provides a range of services spanning contract research, custom molecular synthesis, custom peptide synthesis, analytical services, and a portfolio of chemical building blocks. Its analytical capabilities include mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS, GC-MS, MALDI-ToF, Q-ToF, GPC), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 19F-NMR, COSY, DOSY), light-based techniques (ATR-FTIR, UV-Vis, CD), and material characterization methods such as rheology and tensile testing. The company serves clients in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and materials industries, not only in Europe but globally. A distinctive product line is its polypropylenimine (PPI) dendrimers, highly branched macromolecules offered in generations 1 through 4 (and up to Gen 5 in test kits), sold through a dedicated webshop. These dendrimers are marketed for applications in drug delivery, nanotechnology, catalysis, bioconjugation, and surface coatings. SyMO-Chem also offers custom modification of dendrimers and bulk quantities. Located on the Eindhoven University of Technology campus, SyMO-Chem operates across more than 10 laboratories on one campus, providing access to academic-grade instrumentation and a dense network of scientific excellence. The management team includes CEO Prof. dr. Patricia Dankers, Chief Scientific Officer dr. Ron Versteegen, and Chief Operational Officer dr. Johnick van Sprang. A supervisory board includes Sonja Vos, Prof. dr. Bert Meijer, Prof. dr. Jan van Hest, and dr. Ton Vries. The company has recently rebranded its logo and website to symbolize a new chapter, and launched a webshop for commercially available PPI dendrimers. It also published a new analytical service brochure. SyMO-Chem continues to operate as a private company, focusing on accelerating innovation for its partners.
