Fermentation, Zelle und Leben in 1907. Moreover, he was also the first to identify and give a pathography of retinal anläge tumour as well. After the early death of Krompecher in 1926 the director of the institute became Ernő Balogh. Between 1932 and 1945 the two pathological institutes of the university were again united. In 1934 a cancer research unit was organized within the institute — led by Gyula Putnoki —, and the institution was given a new name the Institute of Pathological and Experimental Cancer Research. As a consequence of world war one the education in Hungarian was forced to finish at the universities of Kolozsvár (Cluj) and Pozsony (Bratislava); thus whole universities were evacuated among the new (1920) borders of Hungary. The University of Szeged became the successor of Kolozsvár University and the Queen Erzsébet University of Pécs that of Pozsony (later it was renamed as Janus Pannonius University). The third new one, the University of Debrecen was founded before the great war, but the lectures started only in the 1920s. At Szeged Dezső Veszprémi, Ernő Balogh, József Baló, at Pécs Béla Entz, and at Debrecen Ferenc Orsós, Ödön Borsos-Nachtnebel held professorships in pathology. The Und Institute of Pathology was reorganized in 1945 under the leadership of Ödön Zalka. His successor from 1952 was László Haranghy, who received a chair of pathology at Kolozsvár between 1941—1945, when Northern Transsylvania was being reunited with Hungary. Haranghy was the founder of Hungarian gerontological researches. His pupil Edit Beregi led the Gerontological Institute of the SOTE until 1993. At Budapest, the director of the 1st Institute of Pathology and Experimental Cancer Research had been József Baló from 1946. He had been specialised on the diseases of the central nervous system, and together with Ilona Banga he detected and proved the role of elastase enzyme in the pathomechanism of arteriosclerosis. In his institute cancer research was among the chief objectives and one of the most important discovery was the carcinogenic effects of hydrazine derivatives. At Szeged Jenő Ormos followed Professor Korpássy as director of the Pathological Institute. At Pécs Gábor Kelényi, who was an expert in the pathology of lymphoma, became György Romhányi's successor. The Institute at Pécs, nevertheless, carried out superb optical polarisation researches. At Debrecen the pathology of the kidney was among the main research fields (by Endes and Gomba), but the institute became a stronghold of Hungarian morphological diagnostics as well. At the Und Institute of Pathology in Budapest, Haranghy was followed by Harry Jellinek in 1968. His team raised arteriosclerosis researches to an international level. Jellinek made use of his organizational skills in the Society of Hungarian Pathologists, the National Pathological Institute, and the Collegium of Pathologists as well. At the 1st Pathological Institute József Baló's successor was Károly Lapis. His researches on Carcinogenesis, on the chemotherapy of tumours, on the mechanism of metastasis, and on the pathology of chronic liver diseases, are also internationally known.
