Lucia Wittner, DSc
Senior Research Associate
Lucia Wittner received her MSc degree in biology at Eötvös Loránd University in 1999, and her PhD in neuroscience in 2004 at Semmelweis University, and her DSc in 2023 at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary. She is an expert in the anatomy of human and rodent neocortical and hippocampal neuronal networks and synchronisation mechanisms – especially in relation to epilepsy. Her research interests also include the validation of neural probes and the potential use of optogenetic techniques in preclinical animal models and human organotypic slice cultures prepared from neocortical brain samples.

Gergely Márton, PhD
Senior Research Associate
Dr. Gergely Márton has an MSc degree in electrical engineering and a PhD in neurosciences. He is a researcher, inventor, hardware designer and programmer working on MEMS neural microelectrode arrays and brain-computer interfacing. He is also experimenting with the application of deep learning and advanced image processing in neurosciences and plays touch rugby for even more fun.

Kinga Tóth, PhD
Research Associate
Kinga works on surgically removed human neocortical tissues from epileptic and non-epileptic patients. She studies the spontaneous synchronous population activity which is generated in the slice-preparations of these specimens. By applying electrophysiological and anatomical methods, she examines the role of perisomatic inhibition in the generation of physiological and pathological activities. CV (hu)

Domonkos Horváth, PhD
Domokos Meszéna, PhD
Research Associate
- In collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, USA -
Domokos obtained his Ph.D. (October 2020) at PPCU Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics, Budapest. He has a keen interest in neural tissue interfacing and developing novel experimental recording methods using various electrophysiology tools (both in vivo and in vitro) and two-photon microscopy. His recent collaboration with MGH/Harvard explores human intraoperative neurotech solutions with translational, clinical perspectives. CVEmail: meszena.domokos@ttk.hu
