The prestigious journal Science has now published the results of a study examining new options for developing drugs against parasites of the Trypanosoma genus, which causes sleeping sickness and other diseases. Scientists from CEITEC at Masaryk…

Respekt magazine mapped the neurological research functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at CEITEC MU.

CEITEC researcher Petr Dvorak explains in the Czech TV Morning Show what we do at Ceitec Nano research infrastructure and what the physics is about.

In a healthy body, healthy brain? The scientists of Applied Neuroscience Research Group of CEITEC MU are trying to confirm or refute this sentence. They test, if the regular movement of seniors affect their memory, attention or readiness (more in spot of the main news program of Czech Television - czech only).

Prof. Jaroslav Polák, member of Advanced Metallic Materials and Metal Based Composites Research Group, CEITEC IPM, was awarded by Ernst Mach Honorary Medal for merit in the physical sciences.

Prof. Sarka Pospisilova from CEITEC-MU joint the prestigious public-private partnership with corporations such as NOVARTIS, CELGENE, AMGEN, JPNV – JANSSEN, BAYER, MENARINI or TAKEDA supported with overall project budget of € 40 million.

The catalogue of services that will be jointly offered to corporations and academic institutions will be compiled by CEITEC Masaryk University in co-operation with the VBCF Research Institute of Vienna and three other partners. CEITEC MU has obtained financing for the pilot project that will enable more efficient use of the technological equipment, knowledge and experience in the field of life and material sciences from Interreg AT-CZ, the programme supporting cross-border collaboration.

Serious impacts on the psyche of descendants of people who have survived the holocaust have been described many times. Experts from Neuroscience Centre, CEITEC Masaryk University are now trying to find biological markers, e.g. changes in the structure of the brain or genetic signature, that would reveal whether the descendants of holocaust survivors are more susceptible to having a higher stress level or, on the contrary, to resist stress better. Scientists are looking for volunteers for their study, i.e. people who have personally survived the holocaust and also two following generations of affected families. However, to be able to compare, they also need respondents who have not been persecuted within the holocaust and their descendants.
