Dr. Andrea Heinzlmann was born in Bajna and after her high school studies she was admitted to the Faculty of General Medicine of Semmelweis University in 1995. In 1998 she joined to the research team of Prof. Dr. Katalin Köves at the Department of Human Morphology and Developmental Biology. In 2004 she started to work as a professor’s assistant at the Department of Human Morphology and Developmental Biology. In 2011, she defended her Ph.D. thesis summa cum laude. In 2014 she was selected as one of the TOP25 emerging talents in the future of medicine under 40 years of age based on her publication activity. Since 2017, she has been working at the Department of Anatomy and Histology, University of Veterinary Medicine. In 2019 she completed the requirements of the University Habilitation procedure. In 2023 she was awarded the Pro Universitate Gold Medal by the Senate of the University of Veterinary Medicine in recognition of her outstanding teaching activities.

Main research field:
