Wilhelm Theodorus Stefanus Huck (* 1970 ) is a Dutch chemist and professor at Radboud University Nijmegen .

Huck studied chemistry at the University of Leiden with a diploma in 1992 and 1997 at the University of Twente in DN Reinhoudt doctorate (Non-Covalent Synthesis of Nano Size Metallodendrimers). As a post-doctoral student , he was with George Whitesides at Harvard University from 1997 to 1999 . From 1999 he was University Lecturer at Cambridge University , 2003 Reader and 2007 Professor of Macromolecular Chemistry. From 2004 to 2010 he was director of the Melville Laboratory for Polymer Synthesis in Cambridge. In 2010 he became a professor at Radboud University in Nijmegen .

Huck and his group are researching the in vitro function of enzymatic networks far from equilibrium, similar to that in living cells (with the ultimate goal of the bottom-up construction of living cells).

In 2016 he received the Spinoza Prize . In 2010 he received an ERC Advanced Grant. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry , since 2012 a member of the Netherlands Academy of Sciences and since 2017, the Academia Europaea ..
