The annual conference of the Hungarian Physiological Society, together with the Hungarian Society for Microcirculation and Vascular Biology was organized in Budapest between 13-16 July, 2022. The conference is the most prestigious annual national event dedicated to research in physiology. Our Department was represented by several talks given by members of the HCEMM-USZ Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism Research Group.
The Vascular Biology Summer School 2022, a joint event of the European Vascular Biology Organisation and the European Microcirculation Society was organized online between June 13-15, 2022. Anna Törteli attended the event as a PhD student, and Dr. Eszter Farkas contributed to the summer school as a member of the organizing committee and as a speaker. The summer school provided postgraduate students and junior postdoctoral scientists an opportunity to gain insight into the key questions and cutting-edge methodologies in vascular biology.
Based on the proposal of the Academy’s Research Institute Evaluation Council, the Institute of Biology (Faculty of Science and Informatics, University of Szeged) was awarded the title ‘MTA Centre of Excellence’. The Institute of Biology is entitled to use the qualification for the coming five years. The award certificate was received by Dr. Attila Gácser, the Head of the Institute of Biology, from Dr. Tamás Freund, the President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and Dr. László Hunyadi, the Chairman of the Research Institute Evaluation Council, in the Ceremonial Hall of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
An application titled „Interaction of NMDA receptor signaling and cerebral edema formation after ischemic stroke” submitted by our colleague Dr. Rita Frank to the 2022 Scholarship for Young Talents of the Nation by the Human Resource Support Management Office has been awarded. With the financial support, Rita will participate in the ’5th International Conference on Spreading Depolarizations (iCSD)’ conference which will be held in Salt Lake City, U.S.A. Congratulations for the achievement!
