Pest, January 1847 (Morgan, Edwin) Let no one with a languid finger dare to sweep the strings today! The lyre that's lifted up is ready to get a great work under way. If you can sing of nothing better than your own joy or broken heart, the world can do without your singing: keep out, where you can have no part! |

Along with 200 of my fate mates!! For 38 years at Szent István University (my first job), I provided the theoretical and practical education of the students in Hungarian and English from my own salary. 2021- Individual Theoretical Researcher, Registered unemployed (HUF 80,000, approx. EUR 200 income (benefit) despite more than 450 rejected job applications) Biochemistry of polysaccharides and their degrading enzymes and other O-glycosyl hydrolases and lignin degradation enzymes (separation, characterization, analysis and molecular modeling). Renewable energy (second, third and fourth generation biofuels). • I have a long teaching and research experience in biology and chemistry. As Deputy Head of Department, my task was to guide, assist and motivate the work of the lecturers, researchers and laboratory assistants of the department. • As a leading teacher, I taught in Hungarian and English in the fields of organic chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, separation technology and plant protection chemistry. This included the preparation and scheduling of the teaching material of the subjects, as well as the elaboration and organization of the materials of the exercises. Perform related administrative tasks. • As the leader in charge of the practical training, I coordinated the schedule of the exercises and one of my tasks was to organize and manage the work of the laboratory technicians belonging to the exercises. • As head of the biochemistry laboratory, one of my responsibilities in addition to education was to direct and conduct research work and to manage the work of laboratory technicians. Writing scientific articles. I also managed the procurement and maintenance of chemicals and tools as well as instruments. • In doctoral training, teaching subjects Biochemical analysis, Analytical Biochemistry, Protein sequence analysis methods, Enzymology and Basics of molecular modeling. • Other computer skills (Word, Excel, Powerpoint).
