In addition to his academic title, he is the founding president of the Biomolecular Chemistry Group of the Hungarian Chemical Society, member of the Hungarian Biochemical Society, and curator oft several foundations (Márton Kajtár Foundation, Foundation for the Hungarian Peptide and protein research, Lajos Kisfaludy Foundation, The Rosztoczy Foundation). He is a member of the European Peptide Symposium (EPS) and member of the editorial board of Journal of Molecular Structure.

Graduating from Piarista Gimnázium, Budapest, he studied chemistry from 1980 at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), where he graduated as chemist in 1985. As a PhD student, besides his research he held practical classes in organic chemistry at the teachers’ training college of ELTE. While carrying on the practical classes, in 1987 Perczel became a scientific member of the Faculty of Organic Chemistry at ELTE. After habilitation in 1999 he was nominated as a full professor in 2001. In 2007 became the head of the Department of Organic Chemistry. In addition his university work he is the head of the joint Protein Modelling Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and ELTE. He has performed his research work between 1998 and 2001 as a Széchenyi Professor, and participating the Fulbright program (2006).
