Professor Aniko Varadi
Professor of Biomedical Research
Professor Aniko Varadi have been leading projects that investigated molecular mechanisms of intracellular signalling pathways (e.g. secretion of insulin from pancreatic beta cells or neuronal excitotoxicity). She has been interested in genetic variations and their associations with diseases and sequencing/genomic technologies that enable to detect them. Combining her research interests and her background in education, she now leads evidence-based workforce development in genomics for the NHS.
