About institution
The Institute of Biophysics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IBP) is engaged in basic research of the structure, function and dynamics of biological systems (biomolecules, cell components, cells and cell populations). According to the latest evaluation performed by an international committee, IBP is one of the best research institutes in the Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic. Each year it publishes around 100 original results that open new ways of investigation for the number of scientists in the whole world.

Contribution to stroke research
Stroke research related activities of Institute of Biophysics of the Czech Academy of Sciences are concentrated in the Department of Biophysics of Immune system led by Assoc. Prof. Lukas Kubala. Within this department workgroup of Dr. Jan Víteček Organic electronics in biological applications and vasculature modelling focuses primarily on circulatory vascular models. Related activities include exploratory studies of factors affecting thrombolysis.
Field of expertise
The department is focused on molecular mechanisms regulating complex immune responses under both physiological and pathological conditions, including inflammation, infection, and tissue injury.
Equipment
The institute primarily offers unique in vitro thrombolysis, vasculature and aneurysm models, and microfluidics assays, including a laboratory with a hemoanalyzer for blood collection and processing.
It also provides necessary equipment and instrumentation such as general biochemistry and cell culture lab equipment (centrifuges, laminar hoods, regulated incubators controlling CO2 level, inverted microscopes), facilities for spectrophotometry and fluorimetry, and in addition state of art advanced fluorescence and confocal microscopic methods and flow cytometry.
Who's In?
Motivated and enthusiastic professionals with the goal to perform meaningful research that impacts people’s life.
