Dr. Mátyás Cserháti - MATE Research
Overview
Dr. Mátyás Cserháti is the associate professor of the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences Institute of Aquaculture and Environmental Safety. He received his Ph.D. from environmental sciences in 2013. His research filed is environmental microbiology. From the beginning of his professional life, He is giving lectures in different Bsc and Msc courses, and from 2014 He is the secretary of the foreign students of the Doctorate School of Environmental Sciences. He is the academic coordinator of the DAFM Erasmus Mundus Joint Master program. Beside the teaching, He also does research activity in two directions: one of that is the biodegradation of mycotoxins (aflatoxinB1, zearalenone, ochratoxin, etc) by bacteria and the studying of the enzymatic way of that process. During his latest research, He was investigating the potentiating effect of Beauvericin. The other research direction is the investigation of the connection between the soil fertility and the indigenous microbe population, through NGS metagenomic methods and bioinformatics solutions to understand the fertility aspects of the different soils types and their PGPR bacteria populations. He is the author of 43 scientific papers, has a Hirsch index 14, and reviews for several journals such as Toxins, PlosONE, etc.
