Angela is an internationally recognized researcher working in cereal genomics and grain allergy. She received her PhD in Cereal chemistry from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in 2002. Before moving to Murdoch University, Australia in 2016, Angela held a Head of Department position at the Centre of Agricultural Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. She joined to the Proteomics group at the School of Science, ECU in 2019. During the last ten years her research focus is on the use of computational biology tools and ‘big data’ to understand genetic and environmental impacts on cereal grain development programs and grain allergy. She is actively involved in the gene annotation work of the bread wheat reference genome released in 2018.
