In 2003-2004, excavations on the outskirts of Balatonkeresztúr along the M7 motorway, led by Szilvia Fábián, revealed Bronze Age graves at a multi-stage site. In cooperation with the research program of the Momentum Mobility Research Group of the HUN-REN RCH Institute of Archaeology led by Viktória Kiss, the human remains from the graves were genetically analyzed by the researchers of the HUN-REN RCH Institute of Archaeogenomics. The results have recently been published in the Oxford Academic Journal of Molecular Biology and Evolution by Dániel Gerber et al.

Within the framework of the Momentum (Lendület) programme of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the director of our institute, Anna Szécsényi-Nagy's proposal entitled as „Life and Death at the Edge of the Roman Civilization: Complex Bioarchaeological Analysis of Pannonian Communities" has also been awarded a five-year Momentum (Lendület) grant and a new MTA-HUN-REN BTK (HAS-RCH HUN-REN) interdisciplinary research group will be formed in the Institute of Archaeogenomics from December 2023.

Anna Szécsényi, Director of our Institute, gave a keynote lecture at the 5th International and 17th Iranian Genetics Congress, organised between 6-8th March 2023. The title of the paper was 'Ancient DNA records from Western Asia:State of research on prehistoric palaeogenetics'. 

Researchers from the Institute of Archaeogenomics of the Research Centre for the Humanities (IAG RCH), Eötvös Loránd Research Network (ELKH) and the Institute of Biology of the Faculty of Science, Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE TTK) as part of an international research team of more than two hundred members, have investigated the cultural and genetic interactions of prehistoric, ancient and medieval populations living in the area that forms a bridge between Europe and Asia - the so-called Southern Arc.

"High Coverage Mitogenomes and Y-Chromosomal Typing Reveal Ancient Lineages in the Modern-Day Székely Population in Romania", a new study by researchers from the Institute of Archaeogenomics, was published in the journal Genes (MDPI) in early January.

“DSB Conference 2022”, organized by the PhD students of the Doctoral School of Biology in ELTE was held in Budapest, December 1^st 2022.

The latest archaeogenetic results related to the research of Hungarian prehistory of the Institute of Archaeogenomics (Research Centre for the Humanities, Eötvös Loránd Research Network) have been recently published in the scientific journal Human Molecular Genetics of the Oxford University Press.

An article by director Anna Szécsényi-Nagy was published in the spring issue of the Hungarian Archeology, in which the Institute of Archeogenomics and its current research are presented.
