Faculty participates in the international project DURABLE

DURABLE (Delivering a Unified Research Alliance of Biomedical and public health Laboratories against Epidemics) is a research project running from February 1, 2023, to January 31, 2027, aimed at addressing the increasing outbreaks of infectious diseases through a unified and coordinated approach. It establishes a strong network of world-class research institutes and public health centers across Europe to provide high-quality scientific information in record time, supporting decision-making in response to cross-border health threats. RNDr. Ruth Tachezy, Ph.D. coordinates the project for our faculty, the Departments of Genetics and Microbiology and the Department of Parasitology are involved.

Conference on the 150th anniversary of the birth of Prof. Bohumil Němec
