Information

In 2006, I completed my PhD thesis, titled by "A pharmacological study of the TRPV1 capsaicin receptor", in the lab of János Szolcsányi at Pécs (Hungary). As a Marie Curie fellow, I investigated the role of enzymes synthesizing anandamides in inflammatory and neuropathic pain in the lab of István Nagy (Imperial College London). In recent years, I have started to focus on neurochemical characterization of spinal dorsal horn neurons involved in pain processing. I am also interested in epigenetic regulations, such as phosphorylation of serine 10 (S10) in histone 3 (H3; pS10H3) in processing of nociception at the spinal level following burn-injury-induced tissue damage.
