Hungarian neurologist and researcher

Rita Horvath is a Hungarian neurologist and researcher. She completed her PhD on mitochondrial disease and research in Munich from 1999 to 2007.

She researches key molecular diseases and their mechanisms, with the aim of developing treatments for patients with rare inherited neurological conditions.

Research

Rita Horvath started her research at Professor Eric Shoubridge's laboratory, where she completed her PhD on mitochondrial disease: a group of medical disorders caused by mutations in mitochondria. Following her PhD, Horvath developed a new service to follow up on patients with inherited peripheral neuropathies to develop treatments for patients with rare neurological conditions.

Membership
