Laura Bagi
Gradual student
I started my studies in 2020 at University of Szeged as a biologist. I am interested in tumor biology and immunology since my teenage years. I joined the group in October 2023. As the member of the group I am constantly learning and improving, and since the summer of 2023, I have been learning R programming and data analysis.
Gergő Balogh
postdoctoral researcher
I received a master’s degree in molecular, immuno- and microbiology at the University of Szeged in 2017. In addition to life sciences I have always had a strong interest towards computer programming and data analysis. Since my graduation I have been working as a PhD student in the bioinformatics workgroup led by Máté Manczinger, mainly focusing on HLA-mediated immune recognition of tumors, and recently SARS-CoV-2.
Anna Tácia Fülöp
student of the National Academy of Scientist Education
I started my undergraduate studies in molecular bionics at the University of Szeged in 2019. Since the same year, I have participated in the Szeged Scientist Academy as a Szent-Györgyi Student. My current research topic is immune recognition of viral and tumor peptids by the HLA molecules.
Alexandra Gyémánt
student of the National Academy of Scientist Education
I started my studies at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Szeged in 2022. I became interested in doing research at high school, therefore I joined the National Academy of Scientist Education to pursue my goal. I became a part of the group at the end of 2022, since then I learned a lot about cancer, immune recognition and statistical analysis. I look forward to improve my bioinformatical knowledge, because it is a highly improving area, where I see large untapped potential.
David Kokai
postdoctoral researcher
In 2018, I graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Szeged. In 2022, I successfully defended my Ph.D. In the final year of my Ph.D., my interests began to shift toward bioinformatics, cell biology, and immunology. I joined Manczinger's group in August 2022 as a postdoctoral researcher.
Balázs Koncz
postdoctoral researcher
I studied at the University of Szeged graduated as a teacher of mathematics and biology in 2010. I worked as a teacher and laboratory assistant at Radnóti Miklós Grammar School from 2010 to 2016. In 2017, I joined the Bioinformatics Research Group at Dermatology and Allergology Clinic led by Máté Manczinger during my Ph.D. program. My preferred area of research is the adaptive immune recognition, immunogenicity of epitopes, and tumor immunology. I use R for analysis and visualization which is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. I live with my wife and our two daughters in Szeged.
Benjamin Papp
PhD student
I am a 3rd year PhD student from Szeged, Hungary. I believe that the development of medicine is inseparable from the development of technology. Therefore, I would like to be up to date with the most recent bioinformatical methods and I would like to see the use of them in the field of clinical researches. I would like to contribute to the development of modern, personalized medicine.
Gergely Koppány
PhD student
My interest in cancer biology started during my bachelor thesis that I did at the Institute of Enzymology in Budapest in 2018. From 2020 I studied Molecular Biosciences at Heidelberg University. During my master studies I participated in various research projects within the walls of the DKfZ, where my interest turned towards bioinformatics and tumor immunology. I joined the System Immunology Research Group of the BCR in 2024, and I am focusing my research on the relationship of tumor biology and the adaptive immune response.
Parveena Choudhury
PhD student
I obtained my Master of Science in Biotechnology from India in 2014. My research experience spans molecular biology, immunology, and microbiology, with significant contributions at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics (NIBMG) in India. Over time, I developed a keen interest in immunology, particularly in understanding the complexities of immune responses and their implications for health and disease. In 2024, I joined the Systems Immunology Research Group, led by Dr. Máté Manczinger, to further explore these interests.
Boglárka Pintér
medical student
I started my university studies in 2018, and now I am a 5th year medical student studying at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Szeged. After my graduation, I would like to work as a dermatology resident. I joined the Systems Immunology Research Group at Dermatology and Allergology Clinic led by Máté Manczinger during 2022, in order to write my thesis. The topic of my thesis deals with the examination of skin tumors with the tools of modern data sciences.
Balázs Szűcs
PhD student
I started my biology studies in 2017 and recieved my master’s degree in molecular, immuno- and microbiology in 2022 at the University of Szeged. I’ve always been interested in immunology and tumor biology, and during my master studies I started to get interested in bioinformatics. Now I am a phd student in Máté Manczinger’s group.
Franciska Tóth
In 2022, I graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Szeged. Since childhood, I've been drawn to research and during my university years, my interest shifted towards immunology and I encountered bioinformatics methods thanks to my thesis supervisor. As a result, I joined Máté Manczinger's research group in September 2023.
