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 precise diagnosis of genetic diseases. Experts have focused primarily on improving the method known as digital PCR.
This advanced laboratory method is used to search for and detect specific gene variants. Thanks to its refinement, doctors can better identify genetic changes that have a direct impact on patients' health. The new procedures allow scientists to work with much higher precision than before.
The results of this research have been published in a prestigious international scientific journal. Publication in a foreign periodical confirms that Czech science is keeping pace with global trends in the field of molecular biology and genetics. The work of Czech experts is thus gaining international recognition.
The technologies that the SZÚ is developing have great potential for future clinical use. In practice, this means that innovations from the laboratories could help in the early treatment of many patients in the Czech Republic in the future. The National Institute of Public Health plans to continue research in this area in the coming years.
