Description
The aim of the National Laboratory of Biotechnology is to develop uniquely competitive technologies and therapeutic methods using the most advanced biotechnology tools in Hungary in three priority health areas: the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the emergence of pandemic diseases worldwide and the treatment of rare hereditary diseases.
Main research areas:

  • New antibiotics and alternative therapies
  • mRNA-based vaccination methods
  • Rare hereditary diseases

Aims of laboratory research:

  • Development of a qualitatively new antibiotic against bacterial MRSA infections.
  • A Hungarian-developed phage engineering method against Gram-negative superbacteria, the most dangerous in our country.
  • Establishment of the first laboratory in Hungary for mRNA-based protein production and the development of mRNA vaccination procedures.
  • Development of an experimental vaccine against African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV).
  • Expanding mRNA-based protein production for domestic basic and applied research applications through new collaborative partners.
  • The first laboratory for drug repurposing in Hungary.
  • International scientific publications describing the pathomechanisms and therapeutic solutions for rare diseases.

The expected use of the results of laboratory research:

  • Conduct international publications and patents describing technological and pharmaceutical developments.
  • Launch industrial and applied research applications with industrial partners.
  • Utilise new knowledge in the teaching activities of the Doctoral School of Biology at the University of Szeged.

A hazai kutatók nemzetközi beágyazottságát, kutatás-fejlesztési együttműködéseit nagymértékben elősegíti aktív kapcsolatuk a világ legjelentősebb kutatási infrastruktúráival (KI) és bekapcsolódásuk az ott folyó élvonalbeli kutatásokba. A legkorszerűbb KI-k olyan nagy költségű berendezések, létesítmények vagy adatbankok, amelyek építése, fejlesztése és működtetése meghaladja egy-egy ország gazdasági teljesítőképességét, így nemzetközi együttműködésben valósulnak meg.
