Team Members Our group comprises the following part-time or full-time members, with their role in the project: Dr. Felix
Aurel Mic, project leader, molecular and cellular biology
Dr. Felix Aurel Mic, group leader, graduated from “Victor Babes” University of
Medicine and Pharmacy Timisoara, Romania, as medical
doctor, in 1995. I worked then as graduate student at the Department
of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Debrecen Medical
University, Hungary, between january 1997 – july 1998 and as a postdoc
at the former Burnham Institute (now Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute), La Jolla, CA, USA, between
november 1999 – may 2003.
