University-industry cooperation for molecular diagnostics & biomarker discovery

28 August 2018

Reading time: 9 minute(s)

Modern medicine relies more and more on knowledge acquired in molecular biology and genetics. Therefore, the research into molecular markers revolutionising the diagnosis of diseases has also become extremely timely both for academic basic research and for pharmaceutical research. In order to harmonise the efforts of discovery research and industrial pharmaceutical developments, the Molecular Biomarker Research and Service Centre of Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE Biotechnology HEICC) was established, about the goals and achievements of which, we interviewed Professor Imre Kacskovics, head of Department of Immunology of Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE).

We may have to rewrite everything we have thought of crystal nucleation in metals

27 August 2018

Reading time: 9 minute(s)

Professor László Gránásy and his team are engaged in modelling the formation of polycrystalline materials, a research they were granted funds for early in 2018 under the “Frontline” – Excellence Programme developed by the NRDI Office. The goal, after having fully understood the crystallisation process, is to use the results in biological systems.

What is the extent of environmental load caused by urbanisation?

22 August 2018

Reading time: 6 minute(s)

The ecological footprint of urban areas and their environs is growing in a faster pace than that of rural areas and that represents a heavy environmental load. The colleagues in the consortium led by the Geographical Institute of the Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences (RCAES) of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS), including researchers and industrial players alike, are studying the number and the commuting patterns of the population in the Budapest metropolitan region, as well as certain hormonal substances of municipal wastewater emitted to the environment.

Zoltán Nusser, Széchenyi and Bolyai Prize winning neurobiologist and member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) leads the Laboratory of Cellular Neurophysiology at the Institute of Experimental Medicine of HAS. His research was supported by a Momentum (Lendület) grant and an ERC Advanced Grant in the past five years. From 2018, the team continues its work with funding from the Frontline programme of the NRDI Office. His research focuses on the understanding of synaptic communication between nerve cells of the central nervous system.

The role of inflammatory processes in the diseases of the nervous system

21 June 2018
