I have been conducting biomedical research since 1999. I started my research work on opioid addiction at the Biological Research Center of the Hungarian Academy of Science and got my M.S. degree from biology at the University of Szeged in 2001 in Hungary. I continued biomedical research on ischemic cerebral injury at he University of Hawai'i in the USA between 2001-2005 which work was summerized in my Ph.D. thesis. Before my Ph.D. defense I spent one year at Semmelweis University in Hungary involved in projects including diabetes mellitus and stem cell research. In 2006, I got my Ph.D. degree in Basic Medical Sciences. Afterwards, I continued medical research at New York University on the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease and memory functions. Currently, I work for a biotech company recruiting biomedical research partners in Hungary who have novel concepts and technologies to bring to the US research and development market.
