Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and several members of the government met Nobel Prize-winning scientist Ferenc Krausz for talks on Wednesday.
Bertalan Havasi, the PM’s press chief, said the officials and Krausz discussed government measures necessary to implement the strategic goals of Krausz’s Centre for Molecular Fingerprinting until 2030, and the government will finalize plans for the further funding of CMF’s research. According to its website, CMF said it was “driven by a vision: probing human health by capturing minuscule changes in the molecular composition of blood plasma with cutting-edge ultrashort-pulsed laser technology. Infrared molecular fingerprinting is to be established as a cornerstone of next-generation molecular diagnostics, paving the way towards future population health monitoring.”
