Academic and Professional Institutions
At FNUSA-ICRC, in collaboration with academic and other research institutions we seek to improve research practices and the clinical care provided to patients. We are convinced that a qualitative change in research, health care and quality of life can be attained through the development of strong international partnerships enabling true systematic changes to the environment. To attain this goal, we foster cooperation with research specialists from leading organizations in the Czech Republic and abroad, including Mayo Clinic.
Activities are taking place that will lead to the establishment of cooperation with other partners from the Czech Republic and abroad.
The list of collaborating institutions:
- Brno University of Technology
Brno University of Technology (BUT) was founded in 1899 as the oldest college in Brno. BUT has become one of Europe's elite technical and research universities, winning the ECTS Label and DS Label awards, among other achievements. The prestigious international QS Top Universities assessment has ranked BUT amongst the 400-600 best universities in the world for several years. At present, about 24,000 students study at BUT’s eight university faculties and two institutes. The university offers traditional disciplines, such as construction, engineering, electrical engineering, forensic engineering, architecture, economics, business administration, chemistry, art, and information technology. Within these categories, there is a wide range of research activities.
Cooperation with FNUSA-ICRC
Cooperation between FNUSA-ICRC and BUT’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering (FEEC BUT) focuses primarily on issues of biomedical technologies in the field of science and research, concentrating on systems for improving the efficiency of the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Long-term cooperation covers predominantly areas of cardiac electrophysiology, ultrasound, rehabilitation techniques, and monitoring of blood pressure. This collaboration also enables the completion of practical training of UIFS FIT BUT FNUSA students in the workplace at FNUSA and their possible involvement in research teams addressing the challenges set.

The Institute of Biophysics ASCR (IBP) was founded in 1955. IBP is now devoted to basic research in biophysics, specifically to the research of the structure, evolution, function, and dynamics of biological systems (bio-molecules, cellular components, cells, and cell populations), using a wide range of methods (molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and bioinformatics). The activities of IBP help increase the level of knowledge and education and aid the development of biotechnologies and the transfer of research results into practice, especially in the diagnosis and treatment of serious diseases.
Cooperation with FNUSA-ICRC
Cooperation has been established with the Center for Biomolecular and Cellular Engineering (CBCE), which implements strategies based on defining biologically important targets, rational design and synthesis of chemical compounds, and established test systems for handling these processes in living cells with a high degree of control.

The Institute of Scientific Instruments ASCR (ISI) was founded in 1957 as an institution providing instrumentation for the departments of the former Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. Today, ISI is a public research institution focusing on the methodology of the study of animate and inanimate matter in selected fields. The main areas of research of the ISI are magnetic resonance, electron microscopy and microanalysis, the use of lasers, measurement and biosignal processing, the construction of scientific instruments and their parts, and perfecting the use of special technologies. The activities of the institute contribute to raising the level of knowledge and education and to the transfer of research results into practice. ISI collects, processes, and disseminates scientific information, issues scientific publications, and provides scientific opinions and advice, consulting, and advisory services. ISI is a well-established center of scientific research, with an irreplaceable position in the Czech Republic.
Cooperation with FNUSA-ICRC
The cooperation between ISI and FNUSA-ICRC began in the mid-1990s, and has involved neurology and cardiology since the beginning. This cooperation includes proposals for new non-invasive diagnostic methods, measurement and signal processing, the design and construction of experimental medical devices, and acquisition systems. Currently, ISI works predominantly through the Center for Biomedical Engineering (BME) with domestic (especially FNUSA) and foreign (especially the Mayo Clinic, MN, USA) medical facilities to complete diagnostic procedures. The products of this interdisciplinary collaboration are joint publications, patents, and original experimental instruments and methodologies.
