ERC Scientific Mini-conference 13.6.2024, CEITEC, Brno
Co-founder of the spin-off company Lipidica, a.s. and currently ERC Advanced grant holder, prof. Michal Holčapek from the University of Pardubice presented his project focused on new dysregulations of lipids and the complexity of the mechanism of metabolic changes that cause these dysregulations. The conference was held with the participation of the president of the European Research Council (ERC), Maria Leptin and 12 holders of prestigious ERC grants from the Czech Republic.
ERC grants support top-notch basic research, so-called frontier research, directed beyond the boundaries of knowledge in the given field and towards breakthrough discoveries. ERC projects can have a significant social benefit and are perceived as a mark of quality.
Academic spin-off companies bridge the development gap between basic research and practical application in terms of new products and solutions for patients and society.
At Lipidica, a.s., our goal is to accelerate the results of groundbreaking research based on the previous grant of prof. Holčapka funded by the ERC CZ program (2013-2018).
