Peter I. Dalko completed his graduate studies at the Technical University of Budapest (BME) and earned his PhD at Paris XI, France. He currently works at the Paris Cité University, France, (CNRS). His group focuses on the development of enantiocatalytic reactions for organic synthesis, the design and application of light-sensitive molecular probes allowing accurate four-dimensional control of biological events in complex tissues, and on the preparation of remotely controllable drug delivery systems with imaging ability.
