NKFIH "STARTING" research grant awarded

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!

The PhD defense of Anna Törteli

Our colleague, Anna Törteli, former postgraduate student of the Regulation, measurement and analysis of life processes program of the Doctoral School of Theoretical Medicine has defended her PhD dissertation entitled Collateral is brain: Spreading depolarization causes reperfusion failure after acute ischemic stroke with summa cum laude. Her thesis supervisors were Dr. Ákos Menyhárt and Prof. Dr. Ferenc Bari. Congratulations on the promotion!

Research Essay Award

The Student Science Study Group Board of the Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical School awarded 1st prize to Anna Zsigmond, a 6th-year medical student, for her research competition essay titled „Nimodipine is protective against spreading depolarization and neuronal tissue inflammation”. The work was supervised by Dr. Rita Frank and Prof. Eszter Farkas. Congratulations for the research essay award!
