The Institute of Nanobiology and Structural Biology of the Global Change Research Centre of the AS CR organizes two scientific and research summer schools for selected Czech and foreign students at the Academic and University Center Nové Hrady. The mission of Undergraduate Summer Research in Molecular Biophysics was to enable students of the physical and mathematical sciences from colleges with limited research to address important problems in biology. The program offered cross-disciplinary research experience in leading laboratories. Summer School in Molecular Biophysics and Systems Biology supported by the International Visegrad Fund, gave students the opportunity to work with specialists-tutors, take part in outstanding lectures and get a new view of methodology and research in the field of systems biology. and Tomáš Rolínek.
The Laboratory of Cell Regeneration and Plasticity and the PIGMOD Centre of the Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics of the CAS in Liběchov have been using their unique biomedical models - miniature pigs - to study fundamental causes of serious diseases, identify new biomarkers and search for new therapeutic methods /including those based on cell therapy and genetic therapy) to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, traumatic spinal cord injury and human melanoma. Special transgenic minipigs carrying human mutated huntingtin allow researchers to investigate in detail the fatal neurodegenerative disorder called Huntington's disease. and Jana Olivová.
