Biography

Bela obtained his masters degree in Molecular Biology and Cell Biology in Berlin at the FU. During his studies he specialized in bacterial and virological research, especially in a medical scenario. He conducted his Master Thesis at the Radboud University as a student of Post Doc. Motilal Mathesh and joined September of 2020 as a Ph.D. student. During his time in Berlin Bela worked various teaching jobs at the FU, including three years as teaching assistant for Biochemistry

Projects for students

I focus on using the already existing polymer based systems such as stomatocytes to further modify them biochemically to fit a medical scenario, such as targeting or drug delivery. Below are the projects I am  currently focused on. Students can explore other possibilities to modify and tune stomatocytes and polymersomes to achieve an enhanced function.

• Active targeting of bacterial biofilms, an enzyme based targeting system with antimicrobial surface modifications
• Stomatocytes as artificial virus, modification via viral spike proteins as artifical viral vector
