Krisztián Vinga, a second-year MSc Biology student, represented our Department in the Biology section of the 37th Hungarian National Student Science Study Group Conference in Szeged between 15-17 April 2025. We are very proud that Krisztián's presentation was awarded with the second prize in Neuobiology and Neurophysiology 2 section by the jury! Congratulations to the student and the tutors!
The XXIX Korányi Frigyes Scientific Forum 2025 was held at the Korányi Frigyes College of Semmelweis University on March 27-28, 2025. As in previous years, the conference provided an opportunity for presentations by students of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and biology involved in undergraduate scientific research. Our department was represented by biology student Sára Pető and medical student Athos Triglianos (English year), who were awarded first and second prizes in the sections of Translational medicine and experimental surgery and Neuroscience. Congratulations to the winners!
The Annual Meeting of the Hungarian Society of Neuroscience (MITT) was held in Debrecen on January 23-24, 2025. The conference is one of the most important events of the Hungarian neuroscience research community. The HCEMM-USZ Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism Research Group participated in the conference by organizing two symposia. Dr. Ákos Menyhárt and Dr. Melinda Tóth organized a symposium on "Neurodegeneration: Comorbidity of Alzheimer’s disease and potential therapeutic targets" and Prof. Eszter Farkas and Dr. Szilvia Veszelka chaired a symposium on "Therapeutic potentials of sigma-1 receptor ligands in experimental models of brain diseases".
We are honored and proud that the Editors of the Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism have chosen the second figure of the recent publication by Eszter Farkas and Christine Rose (doi: 10.1177/0271678X241289756) for the cover of the 2025 February issue. Congratulations to the Authors!
Our colleague Dr. Ákos Menyhárt has been awarded a grant for his proposal "Alzheimer-stroke continuum: the role of spreading depolarization" submitted to the 2024 call of the "STARTING" National Research Excellence Program of the National Research, Development and Innovation Office of Hungary. The four-year research program offers the opportunity to conduct new and exciting translational research on the mechanisms of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. Congratulations on the successful application!
