ÁgnesCzikora National Institute of OncologyHungary

I received my pre-doctoral and doctoral training at the University of Debrecen, Hungary, where I studied the pharmacological profile of vascular TRPV1, a calcium channel involved in pain sensation. I earned my Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences in 2012. After completing my Ph.D., I joined Dr. Peter M. Blumberg’s group at the National Cancer Institute (NIH, Bethesda, USA) as a Postdoctoral Fellow, investigating the role of C1 domain–containing proteins, including protein kinase Cs, in tumor development. Before returning to Hungary, I worked as a Research Scientist in Dr. Mazhar Adli’s laboratory at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, USA), where I mastered genome-editing technologies. I am currently a biologist at the National Institute of Oncology in Budapest, conducting research in molecular immunology and toxicology, with a primary focus on the roles of transsulfuration pathways in cancer. I am also an active member of several scientific societies, including the European and American Associations for Cancer Research.
