EATRIS

Czech National Node to the European Infrastructure for Translational Medicine (EATRIS-CZ)

a part of EATRIS ERIC

Background description

The pan-European research infrastructure EATRIS (European Infrastructure for Translational Medicine) comprises over 100 leading research organizations across Europe. The Czech national node EATRIS-CZ was embedded into the Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine of the Palacky University in Olomouc. EATRIS-CZ provides cutting edge research infrastructure and expertise along the entire translational value chain. It provides the possibilities of “one-stop-shop” access to reach the first‑in‑human application and clinical proof-of-concept in 5 interrelated product platforms. EATRIS-CZ offers a multidisciplinary development, including key technologies, services, patient cohorts and opinion leader interactions. EATRIS-CZ actively cooperates with other research infrastructures within the Czech and international landscape. Namely, collaboration with INFRAFRONITIER and EU-OPENSCREEN (European Infrastructure for Chemical Biology) is being actively developed in the field of identification/validation of new molecular targets and development of innovative therapies. Similarly, the collaboration with BBMRI (Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Research Infrastructure) and ECRIN (European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network) is being established for the discovery and validation projects in the field of biomarkers, rare diseases and advanced clinical testing.
