He had 40 PhD students (the most famous is the Nobel Laureate Roger Guillemin who received the award for the discovery of hypothalamic releasing hormones) & Drs. Somogyi (the 38th Selye graduate), Szabo (39th) & Tache (40th) studied & worked at the Selye’s Institute in the 1970s:
-Prof. Dr. Dr. (h.c.) Arpad Somogyi, former head of the European equivalent of FDA in Brussels, is presently at the Life Sciences Institute in Berlin.
-Yvette Tache, PhD, Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA & Co-Director, Center for Neurobiology of Stress & Women's Health VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System.
-Sandor Szabo, MD, PhD, MPH, DSc (h.c.), Professor of Pathology & Pharmacology, Director, Hans Selye Academic Society at the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine, & Visiting Professor at Semmelweis University Medical School, Budapest.
All three are internationally known investigators in the field of drug metabolism, toxicology, cancerogenesis (Somogyi), role of stress, esp., maternal stress in gastrointestinal diseases, especially IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) (Tache) & development, prevention & new therapy of gastroduodenal ulcers as well as of IBD (inflammatory bowel diseases), like ulcerative colitis & Crohn’s diseases (Szabo). They are also active promoters of modern educational techniques like interactive, small group teaching & ‘flip classroom’ methods.
