We are happy to present you the program book of the 2 nd World Conference of Stress (August 2007, 

Budapest, Hungary). This multidisciplinary meeting is a sequel of the highly successful Conference in 1997, 

which led to the establishment of Cell Stress Society International. The 2 nd Conference is the 3rd Congress of 

this Society. We organized the Conference with the following aims: 

• help to strengthen the membership and ties of Cell Stress Society; 

• help to establish unusual links between various fields of stress research; 

• give special opportunities <strong>for</strong> young and women scientists; 

• show that Science is Fun; 

• and last but not least: to celebrate the centennial birth anniversary of Hans Selye, the founder of the 

stress concept, who was born in Hungary in 1907, and to give a taste from the thousand years old 

history of Hungary and Hungarian science. 

It was our great pleasure to see the overwhelmingly positive response of the scientific community to this 

event. We had more than 400 symposium proposals, over 3,200 pre-registrants and well over a thousand 

participants. The congress introduces the stress concept in the original Hans Selye’s sense, and has a core <strong>for</strong> 

molecular stress, which is surrounded by a halo of other congress-modules <strong>for</strong> various topics of stress 

research. Importantly, the congress shows the necessity and means <strong>for</strong> the system-level understanding of the 

individual molecular data. The event gives an exceptional impact <strong>for</strong> the young scientists in this 

multidisciplinary field by fostering the expansion of their contacts (e.g. in Pub Tours with the most 

prestigious speakers) as well as by allowing more than a hundred students in the age between 16 and 19 to act 

as organizers and helpers of the event.

HANS SELYE (1907-1982) 

Hans Selye was born in Komarno, Slovakia in 1907 (at that time 

Komárom, Hungary). Selye attended school at a Benedictine monastery, 

and since his family had produced four generations of physicians, entered 

the German Medical School in Prague at the age of 17, where he graduated 

first in his class, and later earned a doctorate in organic chemistry. 

As early as his second year of medical school (1926), he began developing 

his now-famous theory of the influence of stress on people's ability to 

cope with and adapt to the pressures of injury and disease. He discovered 

that patients with a variety of ailments manifested many similar symptoms, 

which he ultimately attributed to their bodies' ef<strong>for</strong>ts to respond to the 

stresses of being ill. He called this collection of symptoms – this separate 

stress disease – stress syndrome, or the general adaptation syndrome 

(GAS). The Syndrome details how stress induces hormonal autonomic 

responses and, over time, these hormonal changes can lead to ulcers, high 

blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, arthritis, kidney disease, and allergic reactions. His seminal work "A 

Syndrome Produced by Diverse Nocuous Agents" was published in 1936 in Nature. Selye's multi-faceted 

work and concepts have been utilized in medicine and in almost all biological disciplines from endocrinology 

to animal breeding and social-psychology. 

A physician and endocrinologist with many honorary degrees <strong>for</strong> his pioneering contributions to science 

(including 43 honorary doctorates), Selye also served as a professor and director of the Institute of 

Experimental Medicine and Surgery at the University of Montreal. He was an elected member of several 

dozen of the world's most recognized medical and scientific associations. More than anyone else, Selye has 

demonstrated the role of emotional responses in causing or combating much of the wear and tear 

experienced by human beings throughout their lives. 

Selye probably received more awards than any other physician (including the highest order of Canada), but 

not the Nobel Prize, although he was nominated <strong>for</strong> it several times. Many of his 40 books and over 1700 

publications, including Stress without Distress (1974) and The Stress of Life (1956), became bestsellers all 

over the world. At the time of his death in 1982, his work had been cited in several hundred thousand 

scientific papers, and in countless popular magazine stories, in most major languages and in all countries 

worldwide. He is still by far the world's most frequently cited author on stress topics. So impressive have his 

findings and theories been that some authorities refer to him as "the Einstein of medicine." 

Selye spent a significant time of his life in Hungary, in Czechoslovakia, in the USA and in Canada. He died in 

1982 in Montreal, Canada; his influence on the scientific community is unabating and his work contributed to 

a better scientific and popular understanding of disease and its causes. 

HANS SELYE STAMP AND POST OFFICE 

The Hungarian Postal Service will issue an official stamp to commemorate the Congress and the 100th birth 

anniversary of Hans Selye. We will have a special post office on 23rd and 24th of August in Building A next 

to In<strong>for</strong>mation Desk A with special envelopes and stamps <strong>for</strong> the first day issue of the stamp.

AWARDEES OF THE CONGRESS 

THE 2007 HANS SELYE MEMORIAL DISTINGUISHED LECTURE AWARD 

8 

23-26 August 2007, 


The Hans Selye Foundation (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) selected Professor Mary Dallman as a recipient of 

the 2007 Hans Selye Memorial Distinguished Lecture Award. She has received this award after W. Vale 

(1994), G.P. Chrousos (1997), M. Palkovics (1998), J. Rivier (2000), F. Holsboer (2002) and S. Szabo (2004). 

Mary Dallman graduated at the Smith College from chemistry and obtained her PhD at the Stan<strong>for</strong>d 

University from physiology. She was a postdoctoral fellow in Stockholm and at the University of Cali<strong>for</strong>nia at 

San Francisco. From 1970 she is a member of the Faculty at UCSF. Prof. Dallman served as a member of 

NIH Study Sections of the NRC Committee on Space Biology & Medicine; and participated in NIH 

Workshops & Working Groups on Perimenopause, Drug Abuse, Stress & CVD and Alzheimer’s disease. She 

was an editor of two sectionsof the American Journal of Physiology and Endocrinology and served as 

member of the editorial boards of the journals Steroids, Journal of Neurosciences, Stress and Molecular 

Psychiatry. Prof. Dallman had several Awards and honors including a membership in the council of the APS 

Endocrinology & Metabolism and the Endocrine Society. She was the president of the Women in 

Endocrinology section of the International Society of Neuroendocrinology. She obtained a Fogarty Travel 

Fellowship; the MT Jones Prize from the British Neuroendocrine Society; the Levine Lectureship from the 

University of Trier; a Lectureship from the Brain <strong>Research</strong> Institute in Amsterdam; and the Lifetime 

Achievement Award of the International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology.




THE 2007 CELL STRESS SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL MEDAL 

The recipient of the 2007 Cell Stress Society International Medal was Professor R. John Ellis. He has received 

this award after T. Yura (2000), S. Lindquist (2003) and A. Ciechanover (2005). 

R. John Ellis earned his doctorate in 1960 from King's College, London <strong>for</strong> research on transamination 

reactions with Professor Davies. His postdoctoral studies were done at Ox<strong>for</strong>d in the Biochemistry 

Department on sulfate reduction in bacteria with Professor Pasternak. In 1964 Dr. Ellis joined the 

Departments of Botany and Biochemistry at the University of Aberdeen. He moved to the newly founded 

Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Warwick in 1970 as Senior Lecturer and Head of the 

Chloroplast <strong>Research</strong> Group. In 1976 was awarded a Personal Chair in the department and in 1983 was 

elected to the Royal Society <strong>for</strong> his work on chloroplast biogenesis. In 1980 he discovered the first example 

of a newly synthesized polypeptide that binds to another protein be<strong>for</strong>e it folds and assembles; this binding 

keeps this polypeptide, the large subunit of rubisco, from aggregating with itself. This finding led to the 

<strong>for</strong>mulation in 1987 of the molecular chaperone concept as a new general cellular function, the 

term`molecular chaperone` having being proposed by Ron Laskey in 1978 to describe the properties of a 

nuclear protein involved in the assembly of nucleosomes. The cloning and sequencing of the rubisco binding 

protein led to the discovery of the chaperonin family of chaperones in 1988. Ellis continues to contribute to 

the development of ideas about the chaperone function.

THE 2007 ALFRED TISSIERES YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD 

10 

23-26 August 2007, 


The recipient of the 2007 Alfred Tissieres Young Investigator Award of the Cell Stress Society International 

was Dr. Ellen Nollen. She was the second awardee after A. Vila-Sanjurjo (2005). 

Ellen Nollen currently holds a Rosalind Franklin Fellowship at the Department of Genetics, University 

Medical <strong>Centre</strong> Groningen, in the Netherlands, where she is studying the molecular basis of Parkinson’s 

disease and working on C. elegans models <strong>for</strong> protein-misfolding diseases. The results will aid understanding 

of the cellular processes underlying age-related, misfolding diseases and may yield potential drug targets <strong>for</strong> 

Parkinson’s disease and other related disorders. She has previously worked in the Dept. of Functional 

Genomics, Hubrecht Laboratory, Utrecht, under Prof. Ronald Plasterk, and in the Dept. of Biochemistry, 

Northwestern University, Evanston, USA, under Prof. Rick Morimoto. She completed her doctorate thesis 

on “Hsp70 chaperone functions in stressed cells” in 2000 under Prof. Harm Kampinga at the University of 

Groningen.

creativity and fun. You will find many unusual elements, like Pub Tours with Professors, a Stress-relief corner 

and a Wellness tent, a Stress Sculture Making Contest. And we will also organize relaxing programs to show 

the connection between science and art. Participation in all of the Science is Fun! programs are included in the 

registration fee. 

SPECIAL SESSION AND FINE ARTS EXHIBITION TO COMMEMORATE HANS 

SELYE – (24th August, 14:00, level 1 in Building A) 

When stress meets art: A fine art exhibition called "STRESS" is organized in cooperation with the Downtown

SCULPTURE MAKING CONTEST – (25th August, 13:30, level -1 in Building B; Similarities of 

Stress: from molecules to societies) 

Hundreds of scientists come to the Budapest to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Hans Selye’s birth, the 

founder of the stress concept. These scientists have different research fields, but one thing makes 

connections to all of them: the stress, which can be found in every level of the hierarchy: from molecules to 

societies and so on. During this program the researchers can think together and find the similar aspects of 

stress and prevention of stress in each other’s area. Groups of scientists can create their own sculpture about 

the motif they had found earlier, during talking to each other. So e.g.: a psychologist and a biochemist can 

work on a sculpture, which shows a mother (molecular chaperone) cradling her little son (unfolded protein). 

This sculpture illustrates the mothers’ important role in the families and the molecular chaperones’ in protein 

folding as well. (Both mothers and chaperones are essential to reduce the damage of stress.) The sculptures 

can be made from coloured paper, wooden and metal materials, etc. (All equipments will be provided by the 

organizers free of charge.) The most imaginative sculptures will be selected by an expert jury. The creators 

will be awarded, the first prize will be free tickets to the Conference Banquet and all of the sculptures will be 

exhibited in the conference venue. If you want to participate at this exciting event, please be at the 

Science is Fun place in Building B at 13:30. 

STRESS RELIVING DANCE BY URVASHI SHRIVASTAVA – (25th August, 14:00, Room 

A1, Building A) 

Indian classical dances based on devotional, soft and caressing music have ability to surround the spectators 

with deeply calming mood of healing relaxation. Sophisticated dance postures with soothing instrumental or 

vocal music background distresses mind and soul. Theme of devotional environment helps induce pointfocus 

our stimuli. The danseuse, then with charming costumes and tender steps, subtly & slowly shepherds 

them to perfect tranquility. 

Dr. Urvashi Shrivastava will be presenting three stress-relieving dances of total 45minutes duration in the 

conference. The dances are named as (i) Odissi (ii) Lord Rama (iii) Lord Krishna. ‘Odissi’ is a classical dance 

<strong>for</strong>m of India. The dance theme is based on excerpts of famous Sanskrit-epic entitled “Geet Govind” written 

by great devotional poet ‘Jayadeva’. It portrays the sport of Lord Krishna with his devotee-lovers in beautiful, 

sensual and serene greenery of nature. The romantic composition of love-lyrics is enacted in slow tempo so 

that dancer can reverterate the emotions by facial expression, graceful gestures, glances and soft body 

movements to bring home to spectators the full meaning of the composition. ‘Lord Rama’ was the perfect 

idealist human incarnation of all Mighty, in Hindu religion. This devotional dance composition soberly enacts, 

verbatim, the splendid grandeur of the devine beauty in prodigious costumes and narrates Lord Rama 

stupendous role in the emancipation of humanity against the evils. Lord Krishna manifested in this world to 

exemplify the perfect decision making amidst the tough predicament of multiple odds. ‘Brindavan’ was the 

sacred abode of ‘Lord Krishna’ which had splendid vegetation, groves of tress, many birds, deers and 

devotees intoxicated with His glory. This dance will conduct you through the odyssey of nectar lakes and 

streams, to the latent pulsation of life and greenery of mountains of ‘Brindavan’ and thence to the birth and 

growth of ‘Lord Krishna’ to his full youth.

23-26 August 2007, 


STRESS RELIEF CORNER AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS – (During the whole conference 

in Building A and between the two buildings) 

STRESS RELIEF CORNER 

If you are tired and would like to relax during the Conference or you would like to sit into very com<strong>for</strong>table 

chairs, drink special tea, have a special massage, just go to the Stress Relief Corner in Building A, where you 

will find all of these from 13:00 24th August till 16:00 25th August. 

WELLNESS TENT (Music and relaxation) 

Several studies conducted in clinical settings have suggested that sedative music may have reduced stress via 

muscle relaxation and distraction from thoughts. Music may decrease sympathetic nervous system activity as 

well as anxiety, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure. We offer relaxing classical music to listen in a 

chair some minutes so that the participants give an experience the effects of relaxing music, and refreshing 

after the tiredy working hours of the conference. 

PROGRESSIVE RELAXATION 

During the conference the participants will have the possibility to relax. You can try out the progressive 

relaxation by consulting personally with a psychologist in the conference breaks or at any time by listening the 

instructions of the psychologist recorded on CD. Alternatively, you can listen to relaxing music through 

headphones. When you are stressed or anxious, there are three different components of your reaction: a 

physiological component (what you feel), a cognitive component (what you think) and a behavioural 

component (what you do). Relaxation is the most effective way to control you bodily reactions, that has also a 

positive impact on your thoughts and behaviour. Daily relaxation exercise is effective to reduce the everyday 

stress and to improve physical and psychological well-being. Progressive muscle relaxation is a technique 

developed by American physician Edmund Jacobson in the early 1920s. There are many parallels with 

autogenic training, which was developed independently. Jacobson trained his patients to voluntarily relax 

certain muscles in their body in order to reduce anxiety symptoms. He also found that the relaxation 

procedure effective with ulcers, insomnia, and hypertension. Nowadays Jacobson's Progressive Relaxation is 

the most frequently used relaxation technique in psychosomatic disorders. 

YOGA 

Yoga means unity, union. By controlling of body, emotions and mind we can reach our balance, harmony 

with ourselves and our surroundings. We get internal <strong>for</strong>ce to cope easier with everyday challenges, get more 

well-balanced while we actively assist our health.During the conference every participant can try this type of 

relaxation and motion. You need only 15 minutes free!
