About

Daniel Furkert is an Associate Professor at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. His research focuses on synthetic organic chemistry, particularly the total synthesis of complex natural products and novel methodologies in organic synthesis. Recent publications include work on the synthesis of cordycicadins, preparation of cyclic imines, and investigations into cannabinoid receptor modulators. He has also contributed to the design of inhibitors for human viruses and the synthesis of bicyclic structures.
