There are questions and problems around us that even a grade school pupil can understand, but answering or solving them would take decades or perhaps centuries even for the greatest minds of the world. István Pink, a researcher at the University of Debrecen, and his Japanese colleague Takafumi Miyazaki, have found an answer to a question just like that, which has been open for 30 or 40 years. Their solution was published in one of the world’s most respected and celebrated journals in its field, the American Journal of Mathematics.

A recent examination related to special immune cells in the placenta conducted by research scientists at the University of Debrecen could contribute to a more profound understanding of processes and complications during pregnancy and, in the long run, even to the development of new therapeutic options. It was this group of scientists in Debrecen that were the first to provide a comprehensive genetic picture of the so-called Hofbauer cells. The findings of their international collaborative research project were published in the prestigious international journal JCI Insight.
The University of Debrecen has elevated its level of cooperation with one of the largest global companies specializing in biotechnology to a higher notch in order to provide more efficient services in patient care. The agreement, which was signed on Wednesday, aims, among other things, at supporting the early detection of diseases, the strengthening of appropriate diagnostic pathways and improving patient management in areas that are regarded widespread diseases in Hungary, such as cancer, cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases.
The multi-year professional cooperation between the University of Debrecen and one of the leading healthcare companies in the world, GE HealthCare, continues to increase in intensity. A framework agreement, which was signed on Friday, will take this successful joint work to the next level, where a focus on radiochemical developments as well as state-of-the-art AI-supported radiation planning processes and innovations could make patient care at our Clinical Center safer and more efficient.
Through their basic research activity, researchers from the University of Debrecen and HUN-REN ATOMKI have contributed to the development of an innovative detector technology that could lead to significant advances, for example, in areas such as medical imaging systems. The researchers have reached the conclusion that the high-precision time-of-flight detector under scrutiny is equally suitable for use in large-scale physics experiments and in applications used by the general public.
Experts from the University of Debrecen have participated in an international symposium reporting on the results of microbiome-related research conducted at our institution, while focusing primarily on its clinical and oncological implications. Besides presenting the recent relevant research results and findings, the meeting on Thursday also provided an opportunity to initiate and establish new research collaborations that would lay the foundation and provide a roadmap for new drug development programs in the future.
Researchers at the University of Debrecen, together with their colleagues at HUN-REN ATOMKI, have developed a new test system that aims to help examine the high-voltage power supplies of detectors used to observe new physical phenomena discovered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. This new measuring device is capable of simulating up to ten times the load of current.
It is the first Hungarian space plant experiment, called Vitapric program, that the time capsules placed on Tuesday at the Böszörményi úti campus of the University of Debrecen are supposed to commemorate in the framework of the 4th Plant Breeding Memorial Day and Conference. These capsules contain items from the scientific experiments conducted by Tibor Kapu, the second Hungarian astronaut, as part of the mission Axiom-4 on board the International Space Station (ISS), including sowing seeds, documents and special implements. Bertalan Farkas, the first Hungarian astronaut, was also present at the placement of the capsules.
Pharmapolis Debrecen Innovative Pharmaceutical Cluster has held a general assembly meeting. There were 27 member organizations present at the event held at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Debrecen, where these members formulated new objectives and re-elected the management.
A group of recently graduated Hungarian and international students of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Debrecen took their official medical oath on Saturday. At the ceremonial council meeting of the Faculty of Medicine, fifty-nine of these physicians received their diplomas.
