معرفی
András Kristóf Perczel is a Professor and Head of the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of Sciences, Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Budapest, Hungary. He has been a full professor since 2001 and has served as department head since 2007. He is also an elected member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences since 2010.
His educational background includes:
- Graduated from Eötvös Loránd University with a chemistry major (1985, M.Sc.)
- PhD (1989): "Synthesis and conformational analysis of peptides and glycopeptides", ELTE/Budapest
- Candidate of Chemistry (1993): "Synthesis and conformational analysis of peptides and peptide derivatives via synthetic, computational and spectroscopic methods"
- D.Sc. (1998): "Modelling secondary structural elements of proteins via synthetic, spectroscopic and computational methods"
- Habilitation (1999), ELTE/Budapest
Professor Perczel's research focuses on molecular modeling, NMR techniques, and protein structure analysis. His work spans computational chemistry, spectroscopy, and synthetic methods for studying peptides and proteins. He has made significant contributions to understanding protein folding and structure through both experimental and computational approaches.
His scientific achievements have been recognized with numerous prestigious awards including the Bolyai Prize (2011), election to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2010), and the Fulbright fellowship (2006).
- 2011 Bolyai Prize (one of the highest scientific awards in Hungary)
- 2010 Elected member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
- 2006 Fulbright fellowship
- 2004 Scientist of the year, Sanofi-Synthelabo
- 1998-2002 Széchenyi Professorship, Hungary
- 1997 Scientific Award (1st price), Faculty of Science, ELTE
- 1996 Zemplén Géza award (Hungarian Academy of Sciences)
- 1993 and 1995 Pro Scientia Gold Medal, Hungarian Academy of Sciences
Throughout his career, Professor Perczel has led significant research initiatives in protein chemistry and molecular modeling. His international experience includes research positions at Oxford University, University of Toronto, and Brandeis University, which have informed his interdisciplinary approach to chemical sciences.
He leads the Department of Organic Chemistry at ELTE, where he oversees research and educational programs in chemistry. His laboratory likely focuses on the intersection of computational methods and experimental techniques for protein structure analysis.
