András Salamon

I have been interested in medical puzzles since childhood. In medicine, especially in the subspecialty of neurology, dealing with hereditary diseases, I found an opportunity through which I can live my passion in a way that would help others.

András Salamon, MD, PhD, works at the Department of Neurology at the University of Szeged in Hungary. 

During his daily patient care, he faces many problems and questions. These can often be frustrating, so together with his colleagues, he is working to provide systematic answers to the questions of complex neurological diseases.

In his submitted research, he tackled the question whether there are novel putative pathogenic gene variants in patients with focal dystonia. 

The primary goal of our awarded work is to draw attention to the importance of genetic testing for patients with focal dystonia. Individualized medical or surgical therapy for patients with focal dystonia will become essential in the future, and our work contributes to achieving this goal.

It is often very complicated for him to find optimal balance between family time, daily work, and research work. Fortunately, both his family and his colleagues are extremely supportive and helpful.
