Dedicated to the memory of Imre Kovacs

This site is a tribute to Imre Kovacs, who was born in Hungary on April 04, 1968. He is much loved and will always be remembered.

Imre was a fine, intelligent, dignified and principled man. Imre was born and educated in Hungary, and earned an MD/PhD degree there. He gave us passionate and dedicated service over the last several years, playing an instrumental role in the filing of our IND to the FDA to treat Alzheimer’s disease. Imre was proud of his role in supporting this effort to improve the human condition, and we are profoundly grateful for all of his contributions.

Thoughts

Imre was a master of the microscope and immunostaining techniques. See the gallery of his microscopy art - a fluorescent confocal image of the Oct4 transcription factor. Oct4 is expressed in totipotent embryonic stem and germ cells. In this example, SY5Y cells were fixed with 4% PFA (20 min), permeabilized with Triton X-100 (0.2%, 30 min), then incubated with AP2046c OCT4 (E125) primary antibody (1:500, 2 h at room temperature). For secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugated donkey anti-rabbit antibody (green) was used (1:1000, 1h). Cytoplasmic actin was counterstained with Alexa Fluor® 555 (red) conjugated Phalloidin (5.25 μM, 25 min). Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (blue) (10 µg/ml, 3 min). Oct4 immunoreactivity is localized mainly to the nuclei and also to the cytoplasm.
