Our colleague Gábor Juhász has been elected among the world’s leading life science researchers. His research focuses on understanding lysosomal degradation pathways in 𝐷𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑎. Our heartfelt congratulations on becoming an EMBO member!.

We sincerely congratulate Réka Karkas on the successful defense of her PhD thesis! Réka completed her PhD work in the laboratory of Lajos Mátés.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

On the Genetics Institute's usual June excursion this year, the destination was Szarvas. The arboretum, dragon boat racing, Mini Hungary Model Park, buffet lunch, heat, and good vibes.

The PhD students of the Genetics Institute went on a three-day excursion to the Mecsek Mountains. They visited the Abaliget Cave, Orfű, the Bat Museum, and hiked in the mountains. Thanks to Helga Ézsiás and Viktor Honti for organizing it!

The AAIF2025 international conference was held at the BRC between May 21–24, organized by Péter Vilmos. Attendees explored the diverse functions of the actin protein, originally discovered in 1942 in Albert Szent-Györgyi’s laboratory in Szeged.

In the biology section of the 37th National Student Research Conference (#OTDK), students from our institute achieved a first place (Eszter Kemény (supervised by Gábor Csordás) and two special jury awards (Emese Bélai (Pirity lab) and Bence Béres (supervised by András Jipa).

Collaborative work by Gyula Timinszky team is out in Nucleic Acids Research.

Growth magazine also reported on our performance on Science Expo.

The Institute of Genetics (BNL mRNA-LNP laboratory) invites applications for the post of Laboratory Technician. Details are available here:.

RT @Csaba_Pal_Lab: Thrilled to share our latest work, "Antibiotic candidates for Gram-positive bacterial infections induce multidrug resist….

Two researchers, Zsolt Czimmerer and Gyula Timinszky from our Institute have been awarded the NKFIH Excellence grant. The aim of the application is to provide a preparation opportunity for successful participation in programs of the European Research Council. Congratulations!.

The collaborative work of the Andó lab in #CURRENTBIOLOGY demonstrates the importance of horizontal gene transfer in the evolution of the immune system by the efficient functioning of two phage-derived toxins they expressed in #Drosophila melanogaster.

Just before Christmas, at the Genetics Institute's get-together, as is tradition, after the Director's annual report, we chatted over finger food and mulled wine.

In a new study, the Ando group shows that the bacterial pore-forming protein #Hemolysin-E gene has been transferred from bacteria to a subset of #𝘋𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘦 by horizontal gene transfer and functions as a novel humoral factor.

Santa Claus visited the Drosophilists again this year!

Congratulations to our undergraduate students and their supervisors for achieving first (Kitti Vecsernyés, Eszter Kemény) and second (Katinka Szalmási and Emese Bélai) places with their scientific results in the local competition of the 37th National Student Research Conference!

At today's seminar of the Institute of Genetics, Dominik Hirling, #AI ambassador of the #HUN-REN BRC, gave a presentation on his role as ambassador and on the current possibilities of applying Artificial Intelligence in scientific research.

A new paper from the Pirity lab has been published in Frontiers in Cell&DevBiol. Using 3D embryoid bodies, they have shown that #RYBP plays an unprecedented role in #mesoderm formation.
