Scholar-generated biography
Jonathan J. Danon is a Senior Lecturer and NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow at the University of Sydney, specializing in medicinal chemistry, neuroinflammation, supramolecular chemistry, and molecular imaging. His research focuses on developing novel molecular structures for drug discovery, particularly in the context of neurodegenerative diseases and central nervous system (CNS) targets. Danon's work includes the design of complex molecular knots and interlocked architectures, as well as the exploration of late-stage functionalization strategies to enhance drug-like properties. His research also addresses challenges in CNS drug discovery, such as targeting the P2Y12 receptor and imaging neuroinflammation using TSPO-PET radiotracers.
