Career

edit

In 1976, he received MD degree from University Medical School Pécs and was appointed Lecturer in Anatomy.

He was invited by Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical University and was appointed chairman of the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Szeged, Hungary[1] in 1993.

In 1998, he joined the Institute of Experimental Medicine of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest and established the Department of Endocrine Neurobiology.

He was appointed Professor at Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics[2] in 2002.
