Biotechnology is one of the fastest growing fields of science: pharmaceuticals, medicine, agriculture, food and the environment are all using such techniques. The University of Debrecen launched the biotechnology programme in 1987, and it has been available as a stand-alone BSc course for three years.
The Faculty of Agriculture, Food Science and Environmental Management and the Faculty of Science and Technology will host an international conference this year as part of the Debrecen University Symposium. The University of Debrecen (UD/DE) Scientific Council decided on the winners of the competition at its meeting last week.
The genome libraries of two protected moths, the striped Jersey tiger moth (Euplagia quadripunctaria) and the eastern eggar (Eriogaster catax), are being prepared currently by experts at the University of Debrecen within the framework of an international collaboration. The researchers’ aim is to understand the genetic structure of the moths to help conservation management in species protection.
The University of Debrecen and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research have signed a cooperation agreement. The multidisciplinary international centre for basic research in nuclear physics and related science and technology invites researchers from Debrecen to participate in projects in its seven laboratories.
Saigas and Asian mouflons, i.e. argali sheep, are the focal point of the most recent joint project of Evolutionary Genomics Research Group at the Department of Botany of the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Debrecen and the Institute of Biology of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences (MAS). The new Hungarian-Mongolian research project is supported by a mobility grant from MTA [HAS: Hungarian Academy of Sciences].
A conference organised by the International Student Union (ISU), an association of foreign students, was held on Thursday at the Learning Center: students enrolled in the English-language programmes of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Debrecen (DE TTK) heard presentations on scientific work, the opportunities of TDK (Students’ Scientific Research) and the institution's talent management programmes.
A paper on the evolution and genetic architecture of a polymorphism restricted to cuckoo eggs has been published in the prestigious journal Science Advances. Several scientists from the University of Debrecen have been involved in the work since 2020.
The plant-themed artwork of Ecuadorian-born graphic artist Luis Guallichico, Assistant Professor at the Department of Ecology of the University of Debrecen's Faculty of Science and Technology, has been featured on the blog of British Ecological Society, too. The work of the laboratory assistant of the HUN-REN-UD Functional and Restoration Ecology Research Group has been inspired by the efforts and dedication of the botanists and ecologists making up the group.
Birds' brains relative to their body mass have grown larger as a result of evolutionary changes over the past 70 million years, according to research conducted by an international team of scientists who recently published a study of the most comprehensive and detailed family tree of bird species in the journal called Nature. An evolutionary biologist at the University of Debrecen, Tamás Székely, was also involved in the project.
