Éva de Hoog-Almási

Éva de Hoog-Almási is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) within Professor Bärbel Stecher's Chair of Intestinal Microbiome. Holding a PhD in Molecular Microbiology from the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research, she specializes in developing synthetic biology tools to investigate gut microbiota dynamics and host-pathogen interactions in the human intestinal ecosystem.

Her educational background includes:

• 2013-2016: Bachelor of Science in Biology, University of Szeged, Hungary
• 2016-2018: Master of Science in Immunology and Microbiology, University of Szeged, Hungary
• 2019: FEMS Research Fellow, Utrecht University, The Netherlands
• 2019-2023: PhD in Molecular Microbiology, Helmholtz Center for Infection Research, Germany
• 2024-2025: Postdoctoral Researcher, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany
• 2025–present: Postdoctoral Researcher, Technical University of Munich, Germany

Her research integrates synthetic biology and CRISPR-based gene editing to model colonization resistance mechanisms in gut microbiomes, with significant focus on pathogen-commensal interactions and phage-bacterial dynamics. Current projects emphasize engineering microbial communities to understand ecological resilience and develop microbiome-based therapeutics.

Her scientific recognition includes:

• FEMS Research Fellowship (2019)

While no formal student advisement is documented, her collaborative work within the Stecher group involves mentoring junior researchers in microbiome analysis and synthetic biology techniques. Current funding sources are not explicitly detailed in available materials.

She actively contributes to the Stecher group's research on intestinal microbiome evolution, host-microbiota-pathogen interfaces, and phage-bacterial interactions at TUM's Weihenstephan campus, utilizing advanced genomic and microbial ecology approaches.
