Peter I. Dalko studied chemistry at the Budapest Technical University (Hungary) and graduated from Paris XI University (France) under the supervision of the late Stephan D. Géro. After undertaking postdoctoral researches with the late Sir Derek H. Barton at TAMU (USA) and Yoshito Kishi at Harvard University he is now a Research Director at the French Scientific Research Council (CNRS) at the Medical Faculty of the Sorbonne Paris Cité (France). His research is focused on total synthesis of structurally complex natural products, development of organocatalytic reactions for synthesis and developing microand nanoscale technologies for biomedical researches.
