Born January 26, 1907 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary [Died] October 16, 1982. Montreal, Canada. Austrian-born Canadian endocrinologist. Full name Hans Hugo Bruno Selye. Proponent of stress theory. Studied medicine at the Universities of Paris and Rome, and qualified as a physician at the German University in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in 1929. In 1931, he went to the United States as a Rockefeller researcher and entered Johns Hopkins University, and the following year transferred to McGill University in Canada. From 1945 to 1976, he was professor and director of the Institute of Experimental Medicine at the University of Montreal, and in 1976 he became director of the International Stress Institute. In 1936, he proposed the stress theory, which states that when a living body is exposed to non-specific stimuli (stressors) such as trauma, poisoning, cold, and infection, a reaction occurs centered on the anterior pituitary gland and adrenal system, regardless of the type of stimulus (→ General Adaptation Syndrome). He has written over 1,200 books, including The Stress of Life, a book aimed at the general public.
