Biography

Judit Ovádi has her expertise in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and System Biology. She defined the metabolic channeling at microscopic and macroscopic levels as a powerful mechanism to control and direct metabolisms at crossroads. Her research team demonstrated the sensing characteristic of the microtubule pathway at system level. Her research team discovered a unique brain-specific protein denoted Tubulin Polymerization Promoting Protein (TPPP/p25) that displays two exciting characteristics: Intrinsically unstructured and enriched in brain inclusions of Parkinson’s disease. The structural and functional feature of this protein has been characterized at different level of organizations as well as at physiological and pathological conditions. Recently, she proposed an innovative strategy for drug development when protein of multiple functions is targeted. She has been the Supervisor of several PhD and DSc dissertations, Visiting Professor in Spain, Italy and USA, Invited Speaker at international meetings recently in Tokyo, Jerusalem, San Francisco, Orleans. She has 156 publications, 480 impact factor, 4300 citation and Hirsch index 37. Judit Ovádi has her expertise in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and System Biology.
