Biomedical Research Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences

The challenges of human health and diseases are very complex and the Biomedical Research Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences is able to look at them from different perspectives, as it comprises five areas of biomedical research: experimental endocrinology, experimental oncology, virology, neurobiology as well as clinical and translational research. The Biomedical Research Center is a multidisciplinary institution of basic and translational research. We focus on the study of human disease mechanisms and their interactions and on the development of new preventive, screening and diagnostic approaches that are not yet available in current medical practice in Slovakia. We aim to contribute to the explanation of the causes, mechanisms and consequences of metabolic, neurobiological, neuroendocrine, autoimmune, cardiovascular, oncological and infectious diseases and to develop new strategies for combating these diseases, that represent a great health, social and economic burden on our society.
