Arpad Szallasi
Arpad Szallasi is a leading expert on the roles of TRP channels in health and disease. He was the first to provide a biochemical proof for the existence of the vanilloid (capsaicin) receptor, now known as TRPV1. Currently, he holds an Associate Professor position at the 1st Department of Pathology and Experimental Cancer Research, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary.
His research focuses on targeting of TRP channels for therapeutic purposes, with special emphasis on pain and inflammation.
Arpad Szallasi obtained his MD degree Summa cum Laude from the Medical University School of Debrecen, Hungary (1984). He received his PhD degree in Pharmacology from the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden (1995).
Arpad Szallasi held several research positions both in academia (Karolinska Institute, Washington University, St. Louis, MO) and industry (Menarini Ricerche Sud, Pomezia, Italy) before pursuing a carrier in diagnostic pathology.
Arpad Szallasi is a past President for the New Jersey Association of Blood Bank Professional and a former medical advisor to the American Red Cross.
