R&D staff

Maria, as a Senior Laboratory Manager, organizes the general operation of the laboratory in Gödöllő. She graduated as a biologist (MSc) at the University of Pécs. She is mainly involved in the development and implementation of iPS cell culture activities and neurotoxicological studies.

Suchitra is the senior iPSC specialist at BioTalentum with a scientific focus on the generation of stem cell-derived beta-cells and cardiomyocytes. She is an experienced researcher with more than fifteen years in animal cloning, cell biology and specific research activities include oocytes and embryos cryopreservation. She is highly skilled in the use of micromanipulator for somatic cell nuclear transfer.

Anita is the lead molecular biologist. She holds a Cell and Molecular Biology PhD in Theoretical Medicine. She has significant experience in genetic modification of hESC/hiPSC lines and mice using advanced approaches such as CRISPR/Cas9, TALEN and piggyBac systems.

Andrea is a molecular and cell biologist holding a PhD in Theoretical Medicine. Her main interest are the exocrine and endocrine pancreas and Regenerative Medicine. At BioTalentum, she participates in stem cell research by the development of pancreatic beta cell differentiation. Currently she is on maternity leave.

Kornel is a cardiac specialist at BioTalentum with a scientific focus on generation of mature hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. He is a biotechnologist and he holds a PhD in Biomedical Sciences. He is a postdoctoral researcher with more than ten years of experience in cardiac cellular electrophysiology and patch clamping of cardiomyocytes.

Andrea Balogh is a senior scientist at BioTalentum.  Her main task is the development of 3D cellular models for neurodegenerative disease characterization and toxicology assay development. She is a biologist with  PhD degree in Plant Biotechnology  and extensive postdoctoral experience in tumor biology and immunology.

Balázs is a junior research scientist at BioTalentum. His primary responsibilities are the development of astroglial differentiation, neural cell culturing, differentiation and neurotoxicology. He is a doctoral candidate in Biology with a focus on skin stem cell research.
