Funded research applications to the University Research Fellowship Program

The Review Panel of the University Research Fellowship Program have funded the research project applications of Dr. Rita Frank assistant professor, and Péter Kozák undergraduate medical student. Their research forms an integral part of the activity of the HCEMM-USZ Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism Research Group. The aim of the Program is to attract new teachers and researchers to higher education institutions, to support innovative Hungarian companies with research and development personnel, and to involve the most talented students in higher education talent management.
Congratulations on the achievement!

Welcome to the home page of the Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine of the University of Szeged!

Cellbio

Our courses in the BSc and MSc biology program are given at the Biology Institute of the Faculty of Science and Informatics. We also contribute to the medical education with elective courses, and teach biology in the pre-medical program at the Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical School. Our required and elective courses are given in Hungarian and English. The study material focuses on topics in cell biology and molecular biology. We teach a foundation course in the postgraduate program and provide project supervision to several PhD students.

Three productive research groups pursue experimental projects in the field of stem cell research, neuroinflammatory processes, and the cellular pathomechanisms of acute cerebrovascular diseases. We conduct basic and translational research. Our research is integrated into dynamic national and international collaborative networks.

Our experienced staff members are dedicated to education and research. Our goal is to provide up-to-date teaching material and to build a firm basis in cell biology - a dynamically evolving field of science. We would like to promote an experimental, scientific approach to learning, and make research and academic careers attractive to students.
