Associate Professor Lísa from Chemistry Department Receives GA ČR Grant

Associate Professor Miroslav Lísa, an expert in lipid analysis, has received a prestigious grant from the Czech Science Foundation (GA ČR). His new research project employs supercritical fluid chromatography and mass spectrometry. This work heralds a new era in the identification and analysis of lipid isomers. The results of this research could have significant implications for the understanding and treatment of various diseases.

Our university has once again a reason to be proud – Associate Professor Lísa, an expert in the field of lipid analysis, has received a prestigious grant from the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR) for the implementation of a new research project. This award confirms his years of experience and significant contributions in the field of lipidomics and also highlights the high level of scientific work that is being developed at our university.

The project focuses on the innovative combination of supercritical fluid chromatography with mass spectrometry and represents a new step in the development of techniques for the identification of positional isomers of lipids. These methods will allow more precise and detailed analysis of various forms of lipids, which is key for understanding their biological significance and function. Research in this direction is not only technically demanding but also opens new possibilities for understanding complex biological processes.

The results of this project have the potential to lead to significant advances in biochemistry and biomedicine. The analysis and identification of lipid isomers are crucial for a better understanding of metabolic pathways, which can contribute to the discovery of new biomarkers for the diagnosis and therapy of various diseases. These findings can have a significant impact on research and treatment of metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and other conditions associated with lipid metabolism.

Our university is proud to provide space for excellent research teams and to support innovative projects that contribute to the development of the scientific community and have a real impact on society. Obtaining this grant is another proof of our commitment to outstanding science and research, and is a clear indicator that our university is a place where groundbreaking ideas and discoveries are born.
