Dr. Zsuzsanna Ferencziné Dr. Szőke - MATE Research
Overview
Dr. Zsuzsanna Szőke is an agricultural engineer specialising in reproductive biology and mycotoxicology. She has 10 years of experience as an immunoassay developer engineer in a multinational company. Her laboratory investigates the impact of mycotoxins on fertility in both sexes. The effects of mycotoxin exposure during pregnancy include developmental toxicity and birth defects. Her research encompasses the influence of mycotoxins on hormonal regulation and reproductive cycles. Additionally, she examines the mechanisms by which mycotoxins disrupt reproductive functions at the cellular and molecular levels and their role in animal and human health. The second topic of her laboratory research focused on immunoassay development, including antibody production and the development of various types of immunoassays.
