Dr. András Buzás obtained his MSc diploma in physics at Szeged University in 2005. From 2005 to 2008, he was working as a PhD student at the Department of Optics and Quantum Electronics, University of Szeged, Hungary. In 2008, he joined the Bionanoscience Unit of the Institute of Biophysics, Biological Research Center of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (presently HUN-REN), and currently works there as a Research Associate in the Biophotonics and Biomicrofluidics research group. His scientific interest includes diverse problems in biophotonics, and analysis of biological time series.
Dr. Balázs Sonkodi is a Senior Research Associate at the Department of Health Sciences and Sport Medicine, Hungarian University of Sports Science, and at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Institute of Physiotherapy and Sport Science, University of Pécs, Hungary. He has also been a Research Associate at the Department of Sports Medicine, Semmelweis University, Hungary since 2023. He holds a medical degree from the University of Szeged, Hungary, an MBA from Case Western Reserve University, USA, and completed his PhD at the Hungarian University of Sports Science, Hungary. He is a member of the public body of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. His research interests are delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), non-contact injuries, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, dry eye disease, psoriasis, and autoimmune diseases.
Prof. András Dér is a scientific adviser of the Institute of Biophysics at the HUN-REN Biological Research Centre, Szeged, Hungary. He received his MSc diploma in physics in 1980 at the József Attila University, Szeged, Hungary, a CSc (PhD), and a DSc degree from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1988 and 1999, respectively. During his post-doc years, he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysics, Frankfurt am Main (Germany), the University of California, San Francisco (USA), and the Philipps University, Marburg (Germany). Returning home, he was the deputy director of the Institute of Biophysics, BRC, the co-president of the Biophysics Committee of the Hung. Acad. Sci., and the vice president of the Hungarian Biophysical Society for more than a decade. His primary research interest includes protein dynamics, biophotonics, bioelectronics, and physiological time-series analysis. Together with his colleagues, he is named as inventor on several granted and pending patents about lab-on-a-chip applications in bioelectronics and medicine.
