Project number:TN02000020
Provider:Technology Agency of the Czech Republic
Beneficiary:Institute of Scientific Instruments of the Czech Academy of Sciences
Project implementation:2023-2028
Sub-project:CAEPO – TN02000020/004N (NPO)

Centre of Advanced Electron and Photonic Optics (CAEPO)

Centre builds on the previous CEPO, unites key academic and industrial players in CR who are engaged in research in electron, photon and quantum technologies. CAEPO activities will enhance research excellence, application relevance of academic partners and knowledge transfer towards industrial partners focused on electron & light microscopy and spectroscopy, advanced lasers and their applications, opto-fiber sensors & probes, micro&nanostructured surfaces and optical elements, ultrasensitive detection at the edge of physical principles, ultra-precise production metrology and development of sophisticated elements and systems. This synergistic cooperation shifts the level of added value of CAEPO industrial partners outputs, brings 2/3 of them closer to and keeps 1/3 at level of world leaders.

National centre for new methods of diagnosis, monitoring, treatment and prevention of genetic diseases (DIAMOD)

The DIAMOD project aims to improve diagnostic quality beyond the identification of mutations in the genome and to create a base for monitoring of disease progression and therapy effectiveness as well as for testing and development of cell and gene therapies. We intend to develop new analytic, monitoring and therapy tools products as follows: i) development of new analytic tools and technologies to accelerate diagnosis and facilitate diagnostic monitoring of rare diseases development and treatment; development of AI approaches, ii) development and marketing of digital platform for better patient care, iii) development of humanized preclinical models to test cell/gene therapy, and iv) development of cell therapy based on NK cells.
