State-of-the-art equipment, cutting-edge technologies and international cooperation. This is what research at MU is all about.
We are dedicated to establishing the right priorities, committed to securing sufficient funding and fully aware of the ethical and social implications of our research results.
Kateřina Snopková from the Department of Microbiology at the Faculty of Medicine has fulfilled her scientific dream by naming a new species of bacteria. It is named after the island where the Czech Antarctic Research Programme has one of its bases.
The vast majority of normal matter in the Universe is not made up of planets, stars and galaxies, but of a very thin material called the galactic atmosphere. Information about a new aspect of intergalactic weather was reported in the journal Nature.
Robert Vácha's research focuses on the development of antimicrobial peptides aiming to address the critical need for effective treatment of respiratory infections caused by resistant bacteria.
International cooperation is well underway at the Faculty of Science Masaryk University thanks to a new isotope lab, dedicated to studying both ancient and modern human populations.
The International Scientific Advisory Board provides us with very welcome feedback. The ISAB helps MU establish research priorities, develop scientific strategies and boost international cooperation.
Our scientists have achieved success at national and international levels. In addition to issuing a wide range of significant scientific publications, we regularly organize seminars and lectures on science and research conducted at MU.
Access to central laboratories equipped with unique instruments is provided to other university units as well as other academic workplaces and even private companies.
MU Research infrastructures are an important pillar of research and innovation systems.
Their significance is emphasized by our participation in 14 projects listed in the Czech National Roadmap for Large RDI Infrastructures.
Eleven of these projects are also part of research infrastructures of pan-European interest included in the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) for 2021.
