Organization changes of CIISB at the Institute of Biotechnology
The CIISB facilities at IBT have been undergoing the following organizational changes.
HeliX+ Biosensor instrument from BRUKER was purchased to the Biophysical Techniques Facility of Centre of Molecular Structure.
It enables the study of molecular interactions, including kinetics, affinity and avidity and reveals conformational changes induced by analyte binding or buffer conditions with switchSENSE analysis. This DNA-lever based technology is particularly advantageous for molecules interacting with modifying oligonucleotides.
On November 27, 2025 Biophysical Techniques Facility of Centre of Molecular Structure will hold a workshop “Studying of molecular interactions by HeliX biosensor”. Will be represented instrument principle and applications, followed up by conducting of kinetic measurement on HeliX+ and protein-DNA conjugation using the proFIRE technology.
The CIISB facilities at IBT have been undergoing the following organizational changes.
To honor the memory of Prof. Vladimír Sklenář, an internationally renowned scientist and an important organizer of scientific activities in the Czech Republic, CEITEC Masaryk University awards the Vladimír Sklenář Scholarship. The scholarship is intended for students of doctoral studies at universities in the Czech and Slovak Republics working with NMR spectroscopy and can be used to cover the costs related to their studies. The intention is to improve the conditions for the awardee’s personal and career development.
The scholarship in the amount of CZK 100,000, which may be taxable according to the practice of the institution and/or the tax regulations of the beneficiary's country, is sponsored by Měřicí technika Morava. The scholarship will be awarded to one person per year.
The application deadline for the 2026 scholarship is February 28, 2026.
