Habilitation lectures

 

   Dr. Ákos Menyhárt, an Assistant Professor at our Department held his public habilitation lectures on December 7th, 2023. The scientific lecture was given in the field of “Secondary cell injury in the acute phase of ischemic stroke: spreading depolarization”. The university lecture addressed “The pathological background of futile reperfusion after acute ischemic stroke”. Both talks received considerable interest and were concluded by lively scientific discussions. Congratulations for the achievement!

“OTKA” Research Grant
