I graduated with an MSc in Human and Neuro-biology from Eotvos Lorand University (Budapest, Hungary) in 2005. I remained in Budapest for my PhD studies as a student in the Laboratory of Proteomics, led by Prof. Gabor Juhasz. During my PhD, I examined the influence of different beta-amyloid compounds on the excitability of hippocampal pyramidal cells by recording population spikes and EPSPs in awake and freely moving rats.

I moved to Cardiff in 2008 to be part of Prof. Crunelli’s group. Here, I joined an on-going project aiming at characterizing the role of the tonic GABA-A current in typical absence seizures using EEG recordings and microdialysis in vivo. At present, my research here focuses on the role of T-type calcium channels on thalamo-cortical synchronization processes in models of absence epilepsy and during sleep in vivo. I use in vivo methods, such as local administration of compounds by reverse microdialysis, EEG, local field potentials, multi-unit and neuronal ensemble recordings (with silicone probes and tetrodes) in the ventrobasal thalamus and somatosensory cortex in awake behaving animals.
