Laszlo Halasz

Computational Scientist

Laszlo Halasz finished his Ph.D. in 2019 at University of Debrecen, Hungary, focusing on the genome-wide mapping and analysis of RNA:DNA hybrids (R-loops) in various model organisms. In the same year, he embarked on a postdoctoral fellowship program at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in Florida, working under the guidance of Prof. Laszlo Nagy and Prof. Timothy Osborne. During this time, he provided bioinformatics support aimed at deciphering the epigenetic and transcriptional regulation of macrophages. In his current role at the Merad Lab, Laszlo is eager to broaden his perspectives on immune cell-cell communication and interactions. He aims to analyze and integrate various genome-wide datasets to uncover potential targets and pathways in immune cells under both healthy and diseased conditions. 

Fun facts about myself:

2. I like to go to breweries to try out new craft beers. 

3. I like lists.
