Semmelweis University operates state-of-the-art stroke centers utilizing advanced neuroimaging and endovascular therapies. Researchers look closely at the biomarkers of neuroinflammation post-stroke—a nod to the systemic inflammatory principles first observed by Semmelweis. Neurodegenerative Disease Frontiers
Postgraduate training is also a core mission. The department manages the residency program for the Budapest region, admitting 15–20 new residents each year. The department also offers specialized courses in neuropathology, electrophysiology, and bedside practical training as part of its specialist training program. For those pursuing academic careers, the department offers a PhD program covering topics like cerebrovascular diseases, dementias, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, and headache. Additionally, the János Szentágothai Doctoral School of Neurosciences provides advanced research training under the supervision of leading neurologists.
