IMPORTANCE, AIMS AND POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF RESEARCH<br />
Our research group has been studying the effects of silver nanoparticles on ABC<br />
transporters and their enhancing effect on chemotherapy in multidrug resistant<br />
cancer. We found that silver nanoparticles inhibit the efflux activity and also the<br />
expression of ABC transporters which feature can be exploited in combinational<br />
drug therapy. Currently, we study the combined effect of gold nanoparticles and<br />
radiotherapy on breast cancer cells. Our aim is to find nanoparticles that can be<br />
used as combinational partners in chemoterapy.<br />
AIMS DURING HER CAREER<br />
I want to continue my studies in medicine and proceed with my academic training<br />
at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Szeged. Upon graduation, I<br />
would like to become a practicing physician as well as a researcher in the field of<br />
immunology.<br />
