Hans Selye
Hans Selye was a Hungarian-Canadian scientist renowned as the founder of stress theory and the father of stress research.
His work revolutionized our understanding of the body's response to stress.
Selye introduced pivotal concepts such as distress, eustress, and general adaptation syndrome.
He conducted extensive laboratory research, primarily with rats, to develop his theories.
Selye's approach was notable for its interdisciplinary nature, bridging biology, medicine, and psychology.
His work on stress response mechanisms was groundbreaking at the time, establishing a foundation for future research in the field.
Selye's contributions to medical science extend beyond stress theory, influencing broader understanding of human physiology and disease processes.
