Buzás Edit Irén

Edit Irén Buzás is a Professor of Immunology and Chair of the Department of Genetics, Cell- and Immunobiology at Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. Her work focuses on extracellular vesicles (EVs), autoimmunity, and rheumatology.

• MD from University of Szeged (1983)
• PhD (1996)

Her research explores EV biophysical properties, RNA patterns in EV subpopulations, and the interference of lipoproteins in EV detection. She pioneered methods like differential detergent lysis and protein-to-lipid ratios for EV standardization. Current projects involve cardiovascular aspects of EVs and establishing a Central EV Research Laboratory at Semmelweis University.

She has over 50 peer-reviewed publications and leads initiatives like the MTA-SE Immune Proteogenomics EV Research Group. Her work influences international EV guidelines and training networks such as EU TRAIN-EV.

• 2019 Corresponding Membership of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
• 2019 Széchenyi Prize
• 1995 Carol Nachman Price for Rheumatology

Buzás is a founding member and Executive Chair of Education at the International Society of Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV), organizing key conferences and shaping global EV research standards. She serves on ERC panels and collaborates with institutions like EMBL.
