Autor

Peter Igaz has degrees in medicine and molecular biology. He works as an associate professor in medicine at Semmelweis University Budapest. He is very actively involved in research focusing on the genomics and bioinformatics of endocrine tumors; the study of microRNAs forms a special focus of his research. His research group was among the first to describe tissue microRNA profiles and microRNA biomarkers of malignancy in adrenocortical and adrenomedullary tumors, and circulating microRNAs in adrenocortical tumor patients. His group developed a novel microRNA target prediction algorithm and analyzed pathways involved in adrenal tumors with bioinformatics tools.
