Akos Nyerges
I am a research associate at the Synthetic and Systems Biology Unit of Biological Research Centre (Hungarian Academy of Sciences) (www.brc.hu/sysbiol) and also an MSc student in biology at the University of Szeged (Hungary). Here, we are mapping the underlying mechanisms of cellular organization and microbial evolution by utilizing the technological advances offered by the rapidly expanding field of synthetic and systems biology. My work targets the connection between the complementary disciplines of systems, synthetic and evolutionary biology; therefore I am focusing on strategies for high-throughput mutagenesis, genome and metabolic engineering to support in-depth investigation on aforementioned fields.

I’m 16 years old. I am interested in medical research and I think if the project succeeds, it will be helpful for many sick people. I’m participating in iGEM because there are some practical parts and it needs great amount of creativity. I’d like to study in Cambridge or somewhere in Germany. I support GMO because it can unburden many people’s work.
