Szeged University Medical Alumni Association

Szeged University Medical Alumni Association SUMAA Welcome to the Szeged University Alumni Association website! We invite all the graduated students to join and help us! The Alumni Team

The association was created with the main goal to improve and promote communication between former students of the medical program, the faculty and its current students. Please browse our site to learn more about how you can connect with your fellow alumni, how you can stay updated of our news and how you can find out more about our goals. For current students we plan to provide various supportive services, like how they can get involved in research early on and mentorship programs. One of the great things at our program is the diversity of the students who we are privileged to study with. We are excited to see how the alumni association can reconnect the graduated students from all around the world. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any comments or ideas.

This year, Dr. habil. Zoltán Pető, associate professor and head of the Emergency Department at the Albert Szent-Györgyi Clinical Center of the University of Szeged, was awarded the Dr. Károly Pikó Memorial Medal by the Hungarian Society for Emergency Medicine for his work in the field of emergency care in Hungary.

The Dr. Károly Pikó Memorial Medal was established in 2018 by the leadership of the Hungarian Society for Emergency Medicine. Dr. Károly Pikó was a leading figure in Hungarian emergency care and the founding and lifelong president of the society. The medal is awarded to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of emergency care in Hungary.

Heartfelt congratulations!

Hungary’s First Cryo-Electron Microscopy Research Facility to Be Established at SZTE

Rector Prof. Dr. László Rovó has officially announced the establishment of the National Cryo-Electron Microscopy Platform – a collaborative initiative involving several Hungarian universities. He also introduced a new grant fund to support future research projects aligned with the application areas of cryo-electron microscopy.

The new cryo-electron microscope is expected to support cutting-edge measurements and research in life and materials sciences not only in Hungary, but across the wider region. Rector Rovó emphasized that the platform is likely to attract international research collaborations as well as commercial interest from the private sector. To help drive the initiative forward, the University has already signed a letter of intent with the Pasteur Institute, the World Health Organization (WHO), and several pharmaceutical companies.

Cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) is transforming molecular-level research by allowing scientists to visualize biological samples, proteins, viruses, and other biomolecules in extraordinary detail. The pioneers of the technique were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2017, and since then, Cryo-EM has become one of the most powerful research tools in fields ranging from biochemistry and pharmaceutical science to medical diagnostics, materials science, and nanotechnology.

The planned Cryo-Electron Microscopy Center at the University of Szeged will house four high-performance instruments: two cryo-electron microscopes, a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The underlying technology enables biological samples to be rapidly frozen in a way that preserves their internal structures. Unlike conventional freezing methods, which create damaging ice crystals, cryogenic techniques form non-crystalline, or vitreous, ice – allowing samples to be examined in a natural, life-like state. The project imposes exceptionally high technical requirements in the areas of air handling, humidity regulation, temperature stability, and vibration isolation – all of which are essential conditions for high-resolution microscopy measurements.

This type of instrument is currently unavailable elsewhere in Hungary and remains rare even across Eastern Europe, so the facility now stands as the most advanced of its kind in the region.

University of Szeged Reopens Renovated Education and Research Center

On September 26, 2025, the University of Szeged officially inaugurated its latest renovated and expanded facility, located on Szentháromság utca.

The occasion marked not only the renewal of a historic building, but also a major milestone in the university’s long-term development strategy. The transformation has significantly expanded the facility’s size, capacity, and range of functions. Now equipped with state-of-the-art seminar rooms, research laboratories, and collaborative spaces, the modernized center provides a new home for the Institute of Behavioral Sciences, extended infrastructure for the Faculty of Pharmacy, and additional space for several competence centers within the Center of Excellence for Interdisciplinary Research, Development, and Innovation.

“We are delighted that the Institute of Behavioral Sciences can return to this beautifully renovated building,” said Prof. Dr. Mária Dux, Vice-Dean for Education at the Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical School, noting that the more than one-hundred-year-old building has housed various university units for nearly seventy years.

“As the rector also mentioned, this place holds personal memories for many of us. I myself attended lectures here as a student. Over the years, several departments have operated in this space, including the Institute of Foreign Languages and, for a time, part of the Institute of Behavioral Sciences. Since 2008, it has been home to the independent Institute of Behavioral Sciences. The renewed environment will be deeply inspiring not only for colleagues working here, but also for the students who learn within these walls,” the Vice-Dean added.
