| Center for model organisms The purpose of the project “Center for model organisms” is the purchase of unique equipment and extension of current established technologies to study cellular and molecular interactions within living organisms. The main mission of the project is the establishment of the Center that will carry research in areas of molecular, cell and developmental biology using unique combination of model organisms. As part of the project there will be established a new research platform based on model organism Danio rerio (zebrafish). Research using traditional model organisms will greatly benefit from the implementation of the project mainly thanks to the purchase and implementation of the state-of-the-art microscopy technologies. |

| CZ-OPENSCREEN: National Infrastructure for Chemical Biology The purpose of the project, which started in March 2011, is construction of the infrastructure that will support basic research in the area of chemical biology and genetics and offer Open Access to academic researchers. This infrastructure is being equipped with state-of-the-art technology that includes an integrated robotic system for high-throughput screening, a system for automated microscopic high-content analysis and an integrated robotic system for compound storage and management. The mission of the project is to set up a national infrastructure for chemical biology which includes the national compound collection and the database that enable identification of research tools and probes to be used in basic research and in development of potential therapeutics. CZ-OPENSCREEN is a priority project in The National Roadmap of the Large Infrastructures and will serve as a National node within the ESFRI infrastructure EU-OPENSCREEN (www.eu-openscreen.eu). Petr Bartůněk is the National Coordinator of CZ-OPENSCREEN.

| Higher quality and capacity of transgenic model breeding The project will extend the array of tools and instruments in the modern breeding facility BIOCEV/Czech Centre of Phenogenomics (CCP), which has great research and application potential. We wish to enhance production of applicable results and new activities related to the research programme of the Centre, to increase quality of the technology transfer and enhance cooperation with the application sphere. At the same time, we aim to enhance the research capacity of the Centre, which is based on modelling diseases using transgenic mice and rats – without these model organisms, we would not be able to investigate the basic gene functions in the complexity of the entire organism. These tools are represented by modern systems for breeding of laboratory rodents, which must be bred in individually ventilated cages placed in special racks connected to the ventilation and filtration units, protecting the animals against undesired infections. The availability of healthy animals is an absolute prerequisite for proper research, to enable us to produce correct results and cooperate with the application sphere. Beside study of the function of so far unexplored genes, transgenic models are utilized for investigation of novel therapeutic approaches, and our research concepts of the studies of metabolic disorders and aging comply with the national research priorities and European research programmes. Project BIOCEV has already included completion of the CCP building with total cost of ca CZK 270 million and its equipment with instruments and technologies for additional more than CZK 260 million. These are large investments, and their full value and use by the scientific programmes of the Centre will be highly enhanced by increasing the breeding capacities. |

| ELIXIR-CZ: Czech National Infrastructure for Biological Data Life science experiments generate an immense and exponentially increasing volume of data. It is necessary to store the data, make it accessible, interoperable and safe. The major aim is to extract key information and analyse the data effectively. The mission of ELIXIR-CZ is to create a sustainable infrastructure for storing, interoperability and sharing of the life science data for further processing and analysis. To complement the listed services ELIXIR-CZ is prepared to provide advanced tools and training to facilitate these activities. ELIXIR-CZ currently provides 9 databases of life science data and 15 tools for their processing and analysis and the number continues growing. Uniqueness of the ELIXIR-CZ lies in expertises provided by specialized groups at significant Czech life research organisations – members of ELIXIR CZ consortium. Jointly they create a bioinformatics platform that offers services for wide research community in the open access regime and is interconnected with services of the e-infrastructures providing technical solutions. The participation of ELIXIR-CZ in the pan European research infrastructure ELIXIR is essential and ELIXIR-CZ benefits from this membership. It increases the visibility of ELIXIR-CZ services and tools, enlarges its user community and it catalyses project based cooperation with other ELIXIR national nodes. |

| Upgrade of the National Infrastructure for Chemical Biology The project “Upgrade of the National Infrastructure for Chemical Biology” aims at modernization of the technological equipment and strengthening of the advancement of basic and applied research and development in the field of chemical biology and genetics within the National Infrastructure for Chemical Biology (CZ-OPENSCREEN). The project’s scope will consist in modernization of the existing equipment in laboratories associated in the CZ-OPENSCREEN consortium – the host institution IMG and the partner institution Palacky University in Olomouc. The project will ensure acquisition of new instruments – a non-contact acoustic liquid handling device and a compressor station for ensuring the chemical library’s internal environment. Their integration into the existing equipment will help achieve the goals of the project’s scientific programmes and will lead to the improvement and expansion of the infrastructure’s research in general. The research will be implemented by using the existing and modernized research infrastructure and will build on its existing research activities. The project will support activities directed toward the creation of complementary platforms for the testing of the biological activity of small molecules and obtaining data for identifying new molecular probes and tools for further research and validation of compounds suitable for the development of new therapeutics. High-quality project management will guarantee fulfilment of the project’s objectives. The project’s implementation will clearly contribute to a further increase in the international quality of research and its results within the infrastructure, while increasing competitiveness not only at the level of Czech science, but also of the Czech Republic itself. |

| Upgrade of the Czech Centre for Phenogenomics: developing towards translation research To keep pace with the current development of new technologies and knowledge to decipher complex biological processes linked to genetic base of human disorders, Czech Centre for Phenogenomics (CCP) strives to develop research activities advancing its expertise, service portfolio, and scientific impact. Having established generation of genetically modified models and their standardized phenotyping, CCP aims to advance metabolic and aging analysis as well as data coming from models of rare and other genetic disease. Regarding the systemic approach and data usage, CCP aims to build a bioinformatics group that will analyse data coming from research activities of these grant projects, phenotyping tests of CCP, and later on also serve the user community. A specific link to human medicine, especially to cancer development and its treatment, will be introduced by patient-derived xenographs (PDX) technology, which will include their standardized characterization, maintenance, biobanking, and distribution. Moreover, CCP strives to establish a National PDX reference centre and thus, not only to serve the medical community but also foster biomedical research. The outcome of this effort should be translated into future clinical application, in particular for the personalized medicine approach used in oncology. |
