The Neuromorphology Laboratory at the Department of Ophthalmology was established in 1996. Earlier the Department had a strong tradition in basic and clinical ophthalmological research. In the 1980-ies a broad spectrum of histochemical and immunocytochemical techniques were used with an increasing focus on morphological approach. By now we have established a well-equipped morphological laboratory where some electrophysiological and molecular methods can be performed, too. We are specially interested in the research on spinal cord regeneration and transplantation and fields where ophthalmology and neuroscience meet.

Head of Laboratory
"There is no real difference between structure and function; 
they are the two sides of the same coin.
If structure dose not tell us anything about function,
it means we have not looked at it correctly."
Albert Szent-Györgyi
The medical faculty has a long-standing tradition and a distinguished history. It was originally founded as the Medical Faculty of Ferenc József University in Kolozsvár in 1872, at that time in Hungary, now in Romania. From the foundation on, the University had a turbulent history. In 1920, after the Trianon treaty it has moved to Szeged. However, it acquired a good name for the level of its health science education and research. We are very proud of Professor Albert Szent-Györgyi, once Dean of the Medical Faculty and Rector of the University, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 1937 for the research he carried out in Szeged. His personality and fame clearly demonstrate to our staff and students that systematic, hard work evidently yields results.
