Our team investigates fundamental mechanisms and translates findings from bench to bedside, combining preclinical models with clinical insight.
Researcher at ICRC with focus on translational medicine. Combines preclinical insights with clinical practice across cardiology, neurology, and oncology programs.
Currently leads / contributes to interdisciplinary projects bridging molecular biology, imaging, and patient care at St. Anne's University Hospital Brno.
To test a novel CMR protocol to improve early detection of myocardial injury in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy patients.
To prove that CMR can detect higher prevalence and earlier stages of cardiac involvement in patients with sarcoidosis in comparison with commonly used methods.
To find novel CMR and laboratory markers for the diagnosis of cardiotoxicity in oncological group of patients after cardiotoxic chemotherapy.
