Graduation ceremony
This week, we hold another graduation ceremonies for our successful graduates. We would like to congratulate the new masters, engineers and bachelors and wish them much professional and personal success!
On Tuesday, January 26 2022, with the participation of the Director of St. Anne’s University Hospital in Brno (FNUSA-ICRC), Ing. Vlastimil Vajdák, the Dean of the Faculty of Science at Masaryk University (PřF MU), Prof. Mgr. Tomáš Kašparovský PhD, and the Director of the International Centre for Clinical Research at FNUSA-ICRC, Prof. MUDr. Irena Rektorová PhD, signed a cooperation agreement.
This agreement, alongside that previously signed with the Masaryk University’s Medical Faculty, represents a further step in the strengthening of research cooperation between the FNUSA-ICRC and Masaryk University. “Cooperation with Masaryk University has long been one of my priorities. It is not just a formalisation of mutual relations, but a real streamlining of long-term cooperation”, added the hospital Director Vlastimil Vajdák.
The agreement addresses adjustments to cooperation conditions related to implementation of present scientific research activities by joint research groups of the FNUSA-ICRC and PřF MU, and includes research groups that will be established in the future. “I am very pleased that, after long but constructive negotiations, we have managed to reach an agreement that is beneficial for both parties”, said the PřF MU Dean Tomáš Kašparovský. “Among other things, we agreed with the Director that our graduates in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Genetics would receive interesting job opportunities in cooperation with the hospital”.
Several FNUSA-ICRC research teams are now working closely with the PřF MU. As just one example, there is the Protein Engineering team under Prof. Damborský, who works within the PřF MU Loschmidt Laboratories, RECETOX and FNUSA-ICRC.

During their 20th Antarctic expedition to the Czech J.G. Mendel Station on James Ross Island, young scientists experienced an average weight gain. This surprising finding comes from body measurements and 3D full-body and facial scans conducted before and after the expedition by Masaryk University, Faculty of Science anthropologists using the A.D.A.P.T. software platform.
