Botros Mekhael
What was your first impression of the University? How were your first weeks, months?
Botros Mekhael (3rd year student, Egypt): “WOW! That’s quite a lot.” I couldn’t believe the amount of information and details that this university took care of in academics. It took me a few months to understand the system and how everything works and fits together and that made the first few months a bit challenging academically but it is much better now. Definitely learned how to manage my time, priorities and studies but that as well comes with the whole experience.

Interview with Dr. Shilpa Srinivasan, Alumna of the Month By SZTE Alma Mater on October 29, 2025
More than twenty-five years ago, a research initiative on methane was launched in Szeged, opening entirely new perspectives on how inflammatory processes can be treated. Today, methane – once dismissed as an inert atmospheric bystander – is emerging as a surprising ally in the fight against inflammation. Building on this long-running work, Professor Dr. Mihály Boros and his team are now exploring methane’s biological effects in research that may reshape how we understand and treat inflammatory diseases. We spoke with Professor Boros about the discoveries emerging from their project, supported by HU-rizon, an international research-excellence program funded by Hungary’s National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NRDI Office).
