IMPORTANCE, AIMS AND POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF RESEARCH
Psoriasis is a multifactorial skin disease with chronic inflammation, and it frequently affects
the nails and the joints. In Hungary as well as worldwide, it is regarded as one of the most
common skin diseases. The main goal of our research is to justify two key assumptions,
one of them being whether the lower limp is the most commonly infected area, - and
if so, why? The other hypothesis is whether the skin symptoms invariably appear in the
same area of the body. As part of the study, we also take blood samples from the patients
suffering from psoriasis and test them with immunological and biochemical methods
with the aim of finding possible biomarkers. The outcome of our research will hopefully
contribute to understanding the pathomechanism of this disease, which in turn may help
find new therapeutic ways to cure and prevent psoriasis.
AMBITIONS AND CAREER GOALS
During and after my medical studies my aim is to continue working in a laboratory. After
finishing university, I would like to work abroad for some years as a member of a bigger
research team. It is my intention to continuously develop my personal and technical skills
in research and to assist in the prevention and treatment of psoriasis with my present and
future knowledge. Eventually, as it is my long-term goal, I would like to live and work in
Hungary.
