Dr. Gergely Imre

PostDoc

 

Gergely Imre was born in Budapest, Hungary. He spent the school years in Budapest, where he received MSc degree in Molecular biology. 
He joined Ph.D program at the 1st Institute of Pathology and Experimental Cancer Research, Semmelweis Medical School, Budapest, under the supervision of Dr. Rudolf Mihalik. 
During his doctoral studies he worked on better understanding of the alternativ pathways of cell death regulation in cancer cells. 
After completing the Ph. D, he joined Dr. Krishnaraj Rajalingam's laboratory at the Institute of Biochemistry II, Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main. 
His current research interest is focused on the molecular regulation of cell death pathways in pathological processes such as bacterial infections and cancer.
