Science and Research

Scientific research is a vital and strategically important part of Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute activities. It is statutorily embedded in MMCI regulations. Moreover, research is one of the main activities for which our organization was established. Thus, MMCI a unique center in the Czech Republic which hosts under one roof both basic and applied research in the field of oncology and related biomedical fields. MMCI has its own research facility and it also participates in numerous domestic and international cooperation projects.


1Focus of science and research

The MMCI scientific program focuses on six key topics:

  1. Precision oncology in the field of prevention, diagnosis, surgical, radiation and pharmacologic cancer treatment
  2. Translational research in molecular oncology and genetics
  3. Immune system and cancer
  4. Aging and cancer
  5. Supporting expert systems in oncology
  6. Project connectivity in EU

2Direction of Science and Research

  • Independent researchers (introduced in attachment) covering basic, translational, as well as clinical research provide feedback on research in the MMCI, discuss relevant indicators of further development and recommend a strategy for further development.
     
  • The Division of Science and Research at MMCI has two advisory bodies - the Scientific Board (held twice a year) and the Clinical Research Council (meets regularly once a month). The Division is composed from several independent units - the Bank of Biological Material, the Research Center for Applied Molecular Oncology (RECAMO), Project Administration Office, Project Support Office and, last but not least, the activities of the Scientific Secretary.

Upozornění

Pozor, v souvislosti s uzavřením spodních parkovišť (nad vodojemy) dochází od 1.6.2023 k velkým změnám v parkování v okolí MOÚ. Nově jsou zřízeny zóny pro možnost rychlého vystoupení a nastoupení chodících pacientů (tzv. Kiss+Ride), kde však nelze auto nechat stát. Dále jsme zavedli zóny pro vystoupení a nastoupení pacientů potřebujících transportní sedačku nebo lůžko.
