I was born and educated in Hungary, completing my Ph.D. in Plant Biology from the J.A. University of Szeged in 1988. After that I carried out postdoctoral work with Nam-Hai Chua at the Rockefeller University (New York) followed by another year with Steve Free at the University of Buffalo, (New York). I returned to the Biological Research Center of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Szeged) in 1991 and came to the University of Dundee in 1996 where I initially worked with David Glover before joining Dario Alessi's group in the MRC-PPU as a postdoctoral researcher in 1997. I have been a member of the DNA Cloning Team since it was formed in 2001.

I gained an honours degree in Molecular Biology from The University of Glasgow in 1997 and then worked for several Biotech Companies, most recently CXR Biosciences at Dundee. I joined the DNA cloning facility in May 2008.

I obtained my B.Sc. and Ph.D. at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland and then carried out postdoctoral research with Rod Herbert and then Michael Stark at the University of Dundee. I joined the DNA Cloning Team in June 2001 and this year also obtained a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) from The University of Dundee.

I obtained my B.Sc. from the University of Durham and my Ph.D. in molecular virology from the University of Warwick. I joined the molecular biology team in 2002, following two postdoctoral positions in molecular virology at the Scottish Crop Research Institute, Dundee. I make many of the mouse targeting constructs for the MRC Unit, as well as providing molecular biology support for several of the research groups.
