History of the Physiology Department (Veterinary science)<\/span><\/h2>

An independent department of Physiology was founded in 1872 and Lajos Tanhoffer (1943-1919) was appointed as head.
Tanhoffer initiated the experimental approach in veterinary physiology and in a broader sense in veterinary science in Hungary. His 700-page book on comparative physiology illustrated with his beautiful drawings was published both in Hungarian (1883) and German and became a huge success.
He was head of the Department until 1890.<\/p>

Imre Reg\u00e9czy Nagy, doctor of medicine, then S\u00e1ndor Kor\u00e1nyi, doctor of medicine (1891-1892) lectured on Physiology. In 1892 Ferenc Tangl, doctor of medicine, took over the Department. Researches became intensive during his time at the Deaprtment.<\/p>

He was followed by G\u00e9za Farkas in the position in 1908. In the same year, the building was rebuilt, an extra floor was added to it.<\/p>

In 1922 G\u00e9za Farkas was succeeded by Professor Dezs\u0151 Dese\u0151, who put more emphasis on teaching histology.<\/p>

In 1948 P\u00e9ter B\u00e1lint, Professor of Medicine, was appointed as Head of Department. During this time the teaching of histology and physiology became separated. Special attention was given to physiological chemistry.
In 1950 he was appointed director of the Institute of Physiology of the University of Medicine.<\/p>

Between 1950 and 1952 Ern\u0151 Gyarmati, doctor of human and veterinary medicine, was the Head of the Department of Physiology.<\/p>

It was the year of 1952 when with the appointment of Armand Kem\u00e9ny a doctor of veterinary sciences became Head of the institution for the first time. He headed the Department of Physiology until 1973. His textbook of ?Physiology – for veterinary students and veterinary doctors? was published in 1966. Armand Kem\u00e9ny realised that biochemistry should be treated as an independent discipline. This approach is reflected in his book and is in perfect harmony with the biochemistry textbook that was also compiled at the Department by Zsuzsa N. G\u00e1sp\u00e1r. Biochemistry was lectured on by B\u00e9la T\u00f3th until 1973, then by Ferenc Kutas until 1996 and by Tam\u00e1s Veresegyh\u00e1zy from 1996 until 2012 on a very high level. At present,\u00a0Zsuzsanna Neogr\u00e1dy and G\u00e1bor M\u00e1tis continue giving lectures on the subject.<\/p>

Between 1973-1990 Gy\u00f6rgy Pethes, veterinary doctor, headed the Department. He was the first in Europe to have a B-level radioisotope research laboratory built. He introduced the usage of modern methods of radio immune analytics.<\/p>

From 1990 to 2006 Professor P\u00e9ter Rudas was the Head of the Department. He was a distinguished professor of the Faculty, an outstanding professional, an internationally acknowledged lecturer of his scientific field, a pioneer. Professor Rudas introduced teaching physiology within a multimedia system and produced the appropriate multimedia teaching material, for which he received high recognition also on an international level.<\/p>

At present (from 2006) Vilmos L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Freny\u00f3 manages the Department. He focuses on moving away from traditional teaching methods towards interactivity trough digital solutions. For several years he was the Rector of the University of Veterinary Sciences.
L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Freny\u00f3 also holds functions in numerous prestigious scientific, professional and social organisations both in Hungary and abroad (Hungarian Conference of Rectors, UNESCO, Salzburg Seminar).<\/p> <\/div>
