Group leader

I received my degree in molecular biology from the Eotvos Lorand University Faculty of Science and my PhD in the structural biology doctorate program at the Eotvos Lorand University Faculty of Science. During my academic career I have been focusing on investigating the molecular mechanisms of DNA metabolism and repair. I did my graduate work, in the laboratory of Beata Vertessy, and then joined the laboratory of Michele Pagano for my postdoctoral years.

Postdoctoral fellow

I acquired my Ph.D. degree in molecular and cell biology under the guidance of Beata Vertessy at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics Faculty of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology. We have been focusing on exploring the field of genome integrity and metabolism. I started my postdoctoral career in 2024 with the aim of expanding my knowledge and promoting the understanding of DNA repair mechanisms.

Ph.D. candidate

Presently, I am pursuing a master's degree in molecular biology at the University of Szeged. Throughout both my undergraduate and graduate studies, I have been actively involved in research under the guidance of Dr. László Bodai. Our focus has been on investigating the pathomechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. I am enthusiastic about applying and expanding upon the theoretical and practical knowledge I have acquired with dedication and perseverance.

I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Science Engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. My interests then shifted towards molecular biology and bioinformatics, leading me to earn a master's degree in Info-Bionics Engineering from Pázmány Péter Catholic University. During my graduate studies, I worked on bioinformatics research projects focused on microbial genome analysis, microRNA structure and sequence identification, and RNA-sequencing analysis techniques. My goal is to integrate wet-lab and "dry-lab" projects to better understand the molecular mechanisms of cells.

Undergraduate student

I'm in my second year of BSc Biology at the University of Debrecen, exploring cellular biology, genomics, and neuroscience. Prior to this, I gained valuable hands-on experience as a biomedical laboratory assistant at Kharkiv Medical University, complementing my theoretical knowledge with practical insights. With an unconventional background, I'm excited about the professional journey ahead fueled by my enthusiasm and determination.
