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.
During the course of their visit to the University of Debrecen, the members of a delegation from the Education University of Hong Kong discussed opportunities for cooperation in research as well as teacher and student exchanges. Thanks to this successful establishment of contacts, the representatives of the two institutions are expected to sign an agreement on this issue this coming spring.
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.
A new procedure developed by a research group at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Debrecen (FST, UD) may open up new avenues and provide a roadmap for future mass spectrometry analyses. This new testing method significantly reduces the time and cost of mass spectrometry measurements of proteins both in the pharmaceutical industry and protein research. The publication that summarizes the scientific finding has appeared in one of the most prestigious international chemistry journals, Angewandte Chemie.
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.
In accordance with the idea of international mobility, Anna Zsófia Nagy, who currently specializes in pop music singing at the Institute of Pop Music of UD, will get a chance to take part in a training program offered by Loyola University in New Orleans. She will be the first ever pop music student in Hungary to participate in an international scholarship program, making it possible for her to pursue her studies for almost six months in one of the key hubs of the music industry.
As a consequence of the automotive investments in Debrecen, our city has become a new center of the automotive industry in Central Europe, which exerts significant influence on the life of Debrecen. In order to study the overall impact, a research group called DEB AUT has been established at the University of Debrecen, which examines how this kind of development affects employment, training needs, university structure, urban transport, cultural life and social mobility.
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.
