About the Author: Mihaly Nogradi is emeritus professor at Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), Hungary. He obtained his diploma at the Faculty of Chemistry at the Technical University of Budapest in 1957 and then became the head of the control laboratory at the pharmaceutical company EGyT (now Egis Pharmaceuticals PLC) in Budapest. In 1962 he joined the alkaloid chemistry group at the Technical University of Budapest. He completed his PhD under the supervision of Prof. L. Farkas in 1964 and prepared his Candidate of Chemical Sciences thesis in 1967. After spending one year at Sheffield University, UK, he became professor at Technical University of Budapest and was appointed scientifc advisor by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He retired in 1996 but retained his laboratory at BME until 2012. He has published 150 papers, authored two books and is coinventor of several patents (e.g. Osteochin? / Osten?, a drug against osteoporosis which was marketed in Japan and Hungary).

Laszlo Poppe is a professor at Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), Hungary. He graduated as a chemical engineer from Technical University of Budapest in 1983 and completed his PhD in organic chemistry with Prof. L. Novak in 1987. He then was a research fellow at the Central Research Institute for Chemistry of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and spent one year (1991-1992) as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow with Prof. J. Retey at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. He became professor and head of the Bioorganic Chemistry group at the Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology at BME in 2005. His research interests are centered on stereoselective synthesis of biologically active compounds, biocatalysis, and enzyme mechanisms.
