He obtained his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pécs in 1988 and 1998, respectively. He received his D.Sc. degree in 2007 from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He became full professor in 2008 at Semmelweis University. He has had several years of international research experience in the fields of muscle physiology and single-molecule biophysics at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington State University in Pullman and the University of California in Berkeley. He had served as vice rector for research and international affairs at Semmelweis University between 2009-2011. He had also served as vice dean for education, and between 2019-2024 he was the dean of the Medical Faculty. Currently he focuses on biomolecular mechanics, cytoskeletal and viral nanobiology, protein folding and in vivo imaging. He supervises the Georg von Békésy Biophysics Research Center at Semmelweis University that houses state-of-the-art instrumentation that allows imaging and manipulation from single molecules to small-animal organisms. He is a Howard Hughes Medical School International Alumnus, member of the Academia Europaea and the Saint Stephen Academy of Sciences, and is the acting president of the Hungarian Biophysical Society. He has authored 150 original research papers that received more than 7700 citations.
