The research group headed by Assistant Professor Eszter Csoma has won the Count István Tisza Foundation for the University of Debrecen and the University of Debrecen Publication Award for its scientific article summarizing research findings on polyomaviruses. Regarding the new polyomaviruses that infect both animals and humans, there are still quite a few unanswered questions. The primary focus of the investigation of the researchers was if the viruses are currently present in Hungary, at what age we tend to get infected, and if they infect our respiratory tract.
Preliminary research has confirmed that air pollutants in the interior, coming from printers, furniture, and carpets, pose a considerable health risk and may increase the occurrence rate of cancerous growths, for example. In a recent study, experts from the University of Debrecen reviewed and analyzed the latest data available on the concentration of volatile organic pollutants in indoor environments and conducted a quantitative assessment of the related risks. Through this research, their aim is to draw attention to the negative health effects of chemicals found in indoor environments. The researchers published their findings in an international scientific journal and won a Count István Tisza Foundation for the University of Debrecen and the University of Debrecen Publication Award for their work.
Researchers at the University of Debrecen have identified a new regulatory mechanism that determines the functioning of genes.
