Structural Genomics

BIOGRAPHY

ACADEMIC POSITIONS:
• Associate Professor, Department of Systems & Computational Biology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine
• Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine

EDUCATION:
He obtained his university diploma in chemistry from Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest in 1991.

RESEARCH INTERESTS:
The era of genomics and high throughput experimentation has opened up an opportunity for science and caused a paradigm shift in research. The opportunity is to look at a biological system as a whole. Meanwhile the challenge in research has shifted from data acquisition to the problem of developing computational techniques for systemic and systematic analysis of biological information.

Research topics include:

• Modeling protein structures, Designing novel folds
• Structural genomics
• Proteomics of protoza pathogens
• Structural systems biology
