Hire Dr. Francis K.

Hungary

I am a PhD candidate with expertise in molecular biology, plant pathology, genetics, genomics and bioinformatics.

Profile Summary

I am a plant pathologist with four years of experience in molecular biology. I am currently researching sweet potato viruses to elucidate the molecular mechanism of their infection and suggest better control strategies. My experience carrying out biotechnology research and teaching and managing agricultural enterprises equipped me with analytical skills, creativity, and problem-solving skills essential for a molecular biologist. I have written and published in high-impact journals two articles important for enhancing the quality and quantity of sweet potato production in Hungary. I also presented my research results at international conferences. My passion for plant pathology, genetics, and genomics research is key to this success. The positions I have held, coupled with my master's and PhD research work, have improved my ability to handle diverse roles. Therefore, I am keen on pursuing jobs that will utilize my vast expertise.
