The young scientist has not only won the first prize in the gynaecology category of the event, but received a Zondek Award for holding the best lecture of the conference.

Gábor Egervári – also a student of the Faculty of Medicine – has joined him as winner in his own category, haematology-oncology. Egervári and his team has had new discoveries concerning protein activity in tumour cells.
