I learned my degree from the University of Pécs, Faculty of Biology, graduating as a biologist in 2006. My academic journey continued as I pursued a PhD in molecular biology, which I successfully completed in 2012. During my doctoral studies, I focused on the study and characterization of grape varieties resistant to fungal diseases, utilizing molecular biology techniques to delve into the molecular genetic foundations of resistance.
As a post-doctoral researcher, I expanded my research horizons by becoming involved in the groundbreaking work of the Virology Research Group. Here, my research interests shifted towards the ecology and molecular biology of invasive mosquitoes, broadening my expertise in the field.
Currently, as a member of the National Laboratory of Virology, my research is centered on investigating cellular signaling processes triggered by viral infections. Additionally, I actively participate in research aimed at evaluating the in vitro effectiveness of semi-synthetic compounds derived from natural sources as potential antiviral agents. This research is particularly relevant in the context of combatting viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and Alphaviruses.
