On March 12, 2025, the Department of Neurology at Semmelweis University welcomed a delegation of 13 Filipino doctors, organized jointly by Proxymm Science and Semmelweis University. The purpose of the visit was to introduce the university’s research and clinical activities, with a special focus on the connection between epilepsy and neurodegenerative diseases.
The delegation was greeted by Dr. Marcel Pop, Director of International Relations, who provided a brief introduction to the university before handing over the floor to Professor Dr. Anita Kamondi. She delivered a detailed presentation on the work of her research group under the title “Epilepsy in Alzheimer’s Diseases”. The presentation sparked great interest among the delegation, who posed numerous questions regarding the research methodology and findings.
Following the lecture, Dr. Dániel Bereczki, Director of the Department of Neurology, guided the visitors through various units of the institution. The first stop was the laboratory, where Dr. Tibor Kovács, Deputy Director of the Institute, provided insights into the ongoing research and work processes. The tour then continued to the Liquor Immunology Laboratory, followed by a visit to a patient ward, where the delegation had the opportunity to observe patient care conditions. The next destination was the Clinical Neurophysiology Laboratory, where Professor Dr. Zsuzsanna Arányi introduced the laboratory’s activities, placing particular emphasis on ultrasound training, which generated significant interest among the guests. The visit concluded at the Doppler Laboratory, where Dr. Róbert Debreczeni, the university’s academic coordinator, answered the delegation’s questions regarding the “bubbles study.”
At the end of the program, Dr. Dániel Bereczki ceremoniously presented certificates of recognition to the members of the delegation. The visit was both successful and informative, strengthening professional ties between Semmelweis University and Filipino healthcare professionals.
