The Statue of János (Hans) Selye stands in the courtyard of the Officers’ Pavilion in Komárno, the home of J. Selye University. The bust honours the world-renowned physician and scientist whose pioneering work laid the foundations of modern stress research.
János Selye (1907–1982) spent his childhood and school years in Komárno. He became internationally recognised as the founder of the stress theory, and his groundbreaking research made a lasting impact on modern medicine, endocrinology, and physiology. Today, his legacy is preserved through J. Selye University and various scientific and cultural events held in his honour.
