Institute of Physiology Welcomes Taiwanese Organization ITRI

On Wednesday, October 2, 2019, a delegation of the Taiwanese scientific research organization Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) visited the Institute of Physiology of the CAS. The ITRI representatives, Professor Eric Y. Chuang and Doctor Horus Huang, delivered lectures to present their activities, overall ITRI activities, and possible areas of cooperation. They also visited the Laboratory of Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, the cooperating Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, and laboratories of the Institute of Physiology in BIOCEV. The meeting outlined possible directions for future cooperation between the two institutions in the areas of bioinformatics, targeted delivery of drugs to various tissues and organs, testing potential new drugs on animal models, and regenerative medicine, namely skin tissue engineering using advanced 3D printing technology. As the delegation expressed interest in genomic studies, the guests were invited to see other laboratories focused on genomics: the Laboratory of Genomics and Bioinformatics at the Institute of Molecular Genetics in Krč and Functional Genomics laboratories and the Czech Centre for Phenogenomics in BIOCEV.
