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.

Consumers’ perception of sports statistics, blockchain as a strategic resource in the European marketplace, the psychological and decision-making mechanisms of sustainable fashion consumption, and work addiction as a new form of deviant organizational behavior were but a few of the topics discussed at an international conference of the Doctoral School of Management and Business at the University of Debrecen. Nearly a hundred presentations were given in as many as nine different sections at the event held on Wednesday at our Böszörményi úti campus.
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.
A commemorative plaque was unveiled at the Institute of Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy at the University of Debrecen in honour of Professor Madhaw Singh Baghel, an internationally respected scholar of Indian Ayurvedic medicine and the founding Chairperson of the University of Debrecen's Ayurveda Chair. The ceremonial event on Tuesday was attended by His Excellency Anshuman Gaur, Ambassador of the Republic of India to Hungary. Afterwards, the Ambassador and his delegation met with university and faculty leaders to discuss future cooperation opportunities.
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.
