            The Institute of Medical Biophysics of the Faculty of Medicine of the Czech Republic has l

            on applied research in several areas close to biomedical engineering and neuroscience. The
            our interest is the study of the physical properties of new so-called "smart" materials (s
            materials, biodegradable materials, nanomaterials) in connection with their possible appli

            medicine (tissue reinforcements, tissue substitutes, medical devices, etc.). We are also e
            the development of new diagnostic or therapeutic devices or aids using the latest technolo
            printing, bed control by vision, orbitoplethysmography, etc.). The research activities of 

            include the objectification of visual perception and the search for biomarkers for diagnos
            neuro-ophthalmology. This activity is carried out in a joint team with the staff of the In

            Pathological Physiology. Research in all the above-mentioned areas is carried out at the l
            research supported by university Cooperatio grant projects or OPIE projects at national or
            (ITI Nanobio, Nanomat). In the field of applied research, we use TAČR funds (Gama projects

            cooperation with the application sphere (e.g. Ella-CS, Linet, Deymed). In the field of sta
            deal with the use of statistical methods in medicine, especially in epidemiological studie
            projects have international reach and outputs see international cooperation.

            * Main research topics

            ******************************************************************************************
            • Study of physical properties of new "smart" materials (shape memory materials, biodegrad
              nanomaterials) for medical applications (tissue reinforcements, tissue substitutes, medi

              etc.). We use physical, imaging and statistical methods.
            • Development of new diagnostic or therapeutic devices or aids using state-of-the-art tech
              printing, vision-guided bed control, orbitoplethysmography, etc.).

            • Study of the neurophysiology of visual perception using electrophysiology (spontaneous a
              sensory and cognitive activity), non-invasive current or magnetic stimulation and advanc
              stimulation schemes. The results are applied to applied clinical research.
