National Institute of Public Health presents advances in genetic research
The National Institute of Public Health (SZÚ) has published the results of its scientific work for the year 2025. The main theme of this year's report is the development of modern technologies that enable more accurate diagnosis of genetic diseases. Experts have focused primarily on improving the so-called digital PCR method.
This technology plays a key role in identifying specific gene variants that can cause various diseases. Thanks to improved procedures, scientists are now able to detect genetic changes much faster and with higher precision than in the past. The results of this research have been published in a prestigious international professional journal.
For Czech patients, this means hope for better and more timely treatment. Accurate diagnosis is the first step for doctors to be able to choose the right therapy tailored specifically to the individual. In the future, these new methods could become a standard part of clinical practice in Czech hospitals.
SZÚ has long been dedicated to protecting public health and supporting innovation in medicine. The institute's activities in the field of molecular genetics confirm that Czech scientific institutions are keeping pace with global trends. The research will continue in the coming years with the goal of improving care for patients with hereditary diseases.
