Institution Profile
The International Clinical Research Center (ICRC) of St. Anne’s University Hospital in Brno, Czech Republic is a new-generation research center focusing on the pathogenesis of diseases including finding new methods, technologies and medicaments for effective prevention, early diagnostics and individualized treatment. As a top Central European research center with more than 300 researchers, new technologies and EU grant support, we focus on research and development mainly in different fields of translational research.
FNUSA-ICRC is the holder of the „HR Excellence in Research Award“ given by the European Commission to a research institute. This award is a mark of quality and a lasting commitment to developing and creating favourable conditions for employees in the institution in accordance with the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the recruitment of researchers.
Team profile of Cellular and Molecular Immunoregulation group:
Dynamic research group focused on different aspects of the human immune response and on how the underlying mechanisms of immunity are linked with the development of disorders and pathologies. The main objectives are addressing i) the role of the immune response in the progression of sepsis and septic shock, including the study of long-term consequences; (ii) 3D models of human mucosal tissues enabling the study of the immune response in the microenvironment; (iii) immune cell signaling, in particular the role of the calcineurin-NFAT pathway in the development of susceptibility to infections; (iv) immunometabolism as a controlling mechanism of the immune response. Our thigh collaboration with clinicians creates the opportunity to perform basic research with a strong translational approach from the bench to the bedside approach.
