Summary
I am a medical doctor and a systems biologist. During my scientific carrier, I have tried to understand diseases and find novel approaches to treat them with drugs, whether it is cancer or UC. I finished the Semmelweis University Doctor of Medicine course on 2012 and then started my PhD in network biology. I was involved in developing multiple biological network databases transcription factor-target layers such as SignaLink, AutophagyRegulatory Network or the NRF2Ome. My main project was to understand signalling networks in cancer and how the different paralogues of a protein can act in the signalling network.
Since then I have been a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Cambridge University, where my main focus was how can we use networks to predict mechanisms of action of compound combinations. I used various chemical informatics techniques besides network biology such as chemical fingerprints, machine learning and gene expression-based toxicity prediction.
Currently, I am working at the Earlham Institute and Quadram Institut in Norwich researching inflammatory bowel disease and using network biology to decipher the pathogenesis of complex disorders.
I have recently moved to Imperial College, London to go through the therapeutic celling in IBD using systems biology.
