Why Do Some Childhood Tumors Resist Treatment? Mitochondria May Provide the Answer, Says Scientist Jan Škoda
Molecular biologist Jan Škoda studies the hidden world of childhood cancers. In his research, he looks for new ways to overcome tumor resistance to conventional treatments.
“We want to make MRS easier for clinicians. They shouldn’t have to rely on complex analysis pipelines,” says CYIA 2026 winner Capucine Cadin
The winner of the CLARA Young Innovator Award in the under-35 category is Capucine Cadin from the Paris Brain Institute. Her work focuses on the standardization and automation of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) analysis, an advanced diagnostic technique that, instead of producing images of organs, analyzes their chemical composition. She has developed a system for processing spectroscopy data that automatically analyzes acquired measurements and performs quality control of the input data. An artificial intelligence–based model then helps clinicians predict the progression of a disease or abnormal finding. She now plans to expand the platform to support neurological disorders associated with aging, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Sticky No More: New Algorithm Helps Scientists Reduce Protein Aggregation
Proteins are the silent engines of modern life. They help make life-saving medicines, break down environmental pollutants, improve our food, and power industrial processes. Nevertheless, there is a catch: many proteins have a stubborn tendency to stick together, forming useless clumps that render them inactive. This frustrating behaviour has been holding back science until now.

O konopí bez předsudků – výzkum a budoucnost léčby
(only in czech) Brno má světový unikát. Za průkopníka v oblasti léčebného konopí se už několik let považuje Fakultní nemocnice u sv. Anny a její Mezinárodní centrum klinického výzkumu je. Léky z konopí se zde nejen předepisují pacientům, ale konopí samotné se zde pěstuje a především zkoumá. Na jaře roku 2024 se FNUSA stala ve výrobě konopných tobolek samostatnou.
