• Imagine studying in a place where people don’t just search for answers — they ask new questions too. Where students become researchers, and classrooms turn into laboratories. Where every day is a chance to get closer to understanding how nature works — and to understanding who you are. This is the world of science. This is the world of ELTE Faculty of Science. Discover what it means when questions lead to discoveries.

• In this episode of the ELTE Walk, we learn about the Faculty of Science, ELTE from the Vice-Dean for Educational Affairs and a current international MSc student. The master's programs and Doctoral Schools open for international students at the Faculty cover all areas of natural sciences. Besides teaching, the Faculty is strong in research on various fields of natural sciences, too.

• A team of researchers from Department of Physics of Complex Systems at Eötvös Loránd University, Harvard Medical School, the Danish Cancer Institute, and Semmelweis University has developed an innovative approach to predict how patients with High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) respond to chemotherapy. Their findings, to be published in NPJ Precision Oncology, a journal of the Nature group, with Oz Kilim, an ELTE PhD student, as the lead author, demonstrate that combining two key sources of information— images of tissue samples (histopathology) and detailed protein measurements (proteomics)— leads to improved accuracy in identifying which patients are likely to benefit from platinum-based chemotherapy, a common first-line treatment for ovarian cancer.

• Astrophysicists from ELTE also took part in the 15-year international research work in which, by observing the periodically flashing pulses of massive stars, they noticed that gravitational waves stretch and compress space and time following a characteristic pattern. During the research, they monitored the Universe with giant radio telescopes, so that light can be shed on the operation of huge black holes colliding in the middle of distant galaxies, and they can even discover several sources of low-frequency gravitational waves.
