Cooperation with academic and scientific entities
As part of scientific research projects, we cooperate with prestigious foreign and best Slovak universities and scientific institutions. We are aware that within the framework of biomedical research, it is necessary to form scientific consortia, also with participation of top foreign scientists. It is also extremely important to reflect on current challenges in a timely and effective manner, primarily on the COVID-19 pandemic
which greatly influences the current direction of scientific research projects.
