László Kürti was born and raised in Hungary. He received his Diploma from Lajos Kossuth University (now University of Debrecen) in 1998. Subsequently, he received his Master of Science degree at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2001. Then, he got his Ph.D. degree in 2006 in synthetic organic chemistry under the supervision of Professor Amos B. Smith III at the University of Pennsylvania. From 2006 to 2010, he performed his postdoctoral studies in the group of Professor E. J. Corey at Harvard University. In 2010, He began his independent career as an Assistant Professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas. Then, in 2015, he moved to Rice University (Houston, Texas) as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry.
László Kürti is the co-author of several important books. While still in graduate school (2005), he authored the now popular textbook/reference bookStrategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis with Barbara Czakó that is now used in dozens of academic institutions and research laboratories worldwide. In 2007, he co-authored the book Molecules and Medicine with Professor E.J. Corey and Dr. Barbara Czakó. In 2010, László and Prof. Corey self-published “Enantioselective Chemical Synthesis: Methods, Logic and Practice” that was warmly received by the community. Now this book is sold by Elsevier/Academic Press.
The Kürti group focuses on the development of powerful new methods for the expedient enantioselective assembly of highly functionalized biaryls, heterocycles and carbocycles. He has published many elegant works in peer-reviewed journals such as Science, Nat. Chem., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. He has received many academic awards. For instance, he has recently been the recipient of an NSF CAREER Award, Fellowship by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the 2014 Amgen Young Investigators’ Award as well as the 2015 Biotage Young Principal Investigator Award.
