Prof. Ondřej Slabý, Dr. Kateřina Rohlenová, Prof. Radek Špíšek, Dr. Zuzana Kečkešová and Dr. Pavel Majer presented how modern research is changing the rules of the game. Whether it's personalised treatment, new drugs, or how cancer abuses our immune system.
Neuron Club is an exclusive platform of the Neuron Foundation for regular meetings of scientists and businessmen. The platform seeks to connect these two worlds, show them ways for mutual cooperation, share inspiration, and discuss.
In May, a group of scientists - Prof. Ondřej Slabý, Dr. Kateřina Rohlenová, Prof. Radek Špíšek, Dr. Zuzana Kečkešová, and Dr. Pavel Majer - presented how modern research is changing the rules of the game. Whether it is personalized treatment, new drugs, or how cancer abuses our immune system. The scientists' goal is to turn it into a chronic disease, similar to high blood pressure. In addition, a spin-off is being created from Dr. Kečkéšová's laboratory, which transfers her groundbreaking research into practice. Prof. Jan Konvalinka easily guided the entire evening. On World Cancer Day, Neuron Club once again showed that connecting science and business is not just a phrase - it is a way to change lives here and now.
An international team of scientists has described the importance of the tyrosine kinase receptor FGFR2 in primary cilia. Scientists from the Michaela Bosáková Lab and the Pavel Krejčí research group from the Institute of Biology have made a significant contribution.
A team of scientists led by the head of the research group at the Department of Biology, Nicola Silva, has made a significant achievement in research into the reduced or impaired function of the Synaptonemal complex, which may be one of the causes of sterility. The paper by an international team of authors was published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature Communications in March 2025.
