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 2025. The main theme of this year's report is the development of new technologies in the field of molecular genetics, which aim to improve the diagnosis of serious diseases in Czech patients.
A key innovation is the improvement of the so-called digital PCR method. This modern laboratory technique allows scientists to identify specific gene variants much more accurately and quickly. Thanks to these innovations, it will be possible to better detect the genetic causes of various diseases in the future, which is essential for timely treatment.
The research, which was published in a prestigious international scientific journal, confirms the high level of Czech science. The digital PCR method currently represents one of the most accurate tools for DNA analysis available to physicians.
Experts from the SZÚ emphasize that the goal of these activities is direct application in clinical practice. The new findings should help doctors in Czech hospitals better understand the individual needs of patients and choose the most appropriate therapeutic approach for them.
The report on research activities thus shows that investments in modern technologies in medicine are of great importance for the future of the Czech healthcare system. The National Institute of Public Health plans to continue the development of these diagnostic methods in the coming years.
