NACEE conference in Belarus

Our last conference for this busy year was held in Belarus. We had honor to participate in 7^th International Scientific Conference of Students and Young Scientists organized by Network of Aquaculture Centers in Central and Eastern Europe – NACEE in Gorki from 11^th until 14^th December 2018. Timi, Jelena, Zoran and Ilija presented their results together with our dear colleagues from the Department, Levente Várkonyi and  József Molnár. Our delegation was also stronger by joining of our colleagues Zsófia Tarnai-Király and Szvetlana Lengyel (technical secretary of NACEE). During the conference, we had opportunity to visit Department for Ichthyology and Fisheries and their laboratories and industrial complex.

Thank organizers for the invitation, we are looking forward to meet again.

„Fish and amphibian embryos as alternative models in toxicology and teratology” conference

Timi has participated with one of our colleagues, Erna Balogh at the 5^th international symposium and workshop on „Fish and amphibian embryos as alternative models in toxicology and teratology”, organized at the L'Oréal facilities in Aulnay-sous-Bois/Paris, France, between 28 and 30 November 2018. Timi has presented her results on a poster:

Tímea Kollár, Gyöngyi Gazsi, Eszter Kása, Béla Urbányi, Zsolt Csenki-Bakos, Ákos Horváth: Investigation of embryogenesis following fertilization with sperm exposed by heavy metals, in zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Raman sectroscopy

Ilija spent two weeks at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Belgrade (Serbia) in the laboratory for Raman spectroscopy. During his stay, Ilija worked under supervision of dr Božidar Rašković and had possibility to analyze gonadal tissue of carp, zebrafish, trout and African catfish. We would like to thank his host and our good friend and colleague for his hospitality and generous support. We are looking forward to continue our collaboration.
