A new software application that works as a virtual microscope for molecules and molecular complexes was developed by David Sehnal from Jaroslav Koča’s research group at CEITEC MU and NCBR of the Faculty of Science. This breakthrough software is called LiteMol suite. It enables users to study molecules in detail - for example examine how drugs bind to receptors, or show an individual iron atom in haemoglobin.

At the CEITEC BUT in Brno, another ERC grant, one of the most prestigious grants awarded by the European Commission, will be resolved in January. Petr Neugebauer, with a support of EUR 2 million, will develop a revolutionary method of paramagnetic resonance, which would mean a significant shift in a wide range of disciplines such as physics, chemistry or medicine.

The merger of the top Austrian technical universities and the CEITEC institute should result in the improvement of nanotechnology and biotechnology research at the Brno research center. Thanks to the European Union's Horizon 2020 TEAMING program,…
