Nanoliposomal systems for rapid diagnosis of thrombi by MRI

The research aim of the multidisciplinary project is to develop advanced nanoparticle systems for rapid imaging of thrombi in the cardiovascular system, especially in the brain (cerebral ictus), using in vivo imaging technique MRI. The efficacy of the system will be tested on preclinical rat and rabbit animal models. Contrast agents are based on nanoliposomes labelled with gadolinium complexes for rapid and sensitive imaging with the use of MRI.

Modulation of functional connectivity of the large scale cortical networks by STN DBS

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective long-term treatment for motor symptoms in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). The most frequently used target is the subthalamic nucleus (STN). For some patients, the beneficial motor effects may be accompanied by cognitive impairment and other neuropsychiatric disturbances. PD is associated with impaired functioning of the basal ganglia, their interactions with cortical structures resulting in changed functional cortical connectivity.

Commercialization of the research results of the Institute of Scientific Instruments of the CAS, v. v. i.

The goal of the project is to boost the system of commercialization especially the process of Proof of Concept which will raise the number of commercialised research results of the ISI’s research teams in accordance with national initiative Prumysl 4.0. ISI’s research and development concentrates on the production of high-technology instrumentation and methodology. The reaching of commercializable level of scientific high-technology results is not only time-consuming, but mainly very expensive process.

Implementace MR technik pro kvantifikaci tukové frakce v silných magnetických polích.

Tuky tvoří významnou část organismu lidí a zvířat a zároveň mohou sloužit jako biomarkery v mnoha oblastech medicíny. Z tohoto důvodu je vhodné umět co nejpřesněji kvantifikovat tukovou složku (určit koncentraci), často označovanou jako tuková frakce (FF – fat fraction). MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) metodologie využívá fyzikálních vlastností vody a lipidů. MRI v kombinaci s vhodným zpracováním umožňuje detekovat tuk a kvantifikovat poměr vody a tuků ve zkoumané tkáni. Tyto specifické techniky jsou nazývány Dixonovy metody (dále jen DM).

Support of membership in Science and Technology Council of the International Institute of Refrigeration

Projekt je cílen na podporu členství Ing. Aleše Srnky, CSc. v nejvyšším odborném orgánu „International Institute of Refrigeration“ (IIR - český oficiální název: Mezinárodní ústav chladírenský), konkrétně pak v „Science and Technology Council“ (STC - Vědecko-technologická rada). Na 24. IIR Mezinárodním kongresu chlazení konaném v srpnu 2015 v Jokohamě byl A. Srnka zvolen na období 2015-2019, tj. do doby konání dalšího kongresu v Montrealu, presidentem komise A1 „Cryophysics and Cryoengineering“ (Kryofyzika a kryoinženýring). Zvolením se stal členem výše jmenovaného odborného orgánu IIR.
