Program description
Research is focused on technologies, which can be used by biological sciences for the description and the analysis of electrical, mechanical and other effects of living bodies on the level of cells, tissues and organs. The description of the behaviour of organisms and their parts in the physiological state and the pathological state exploits advanced modelling techniques. Computer models are based on the descriptions of physical properties of living bodies and respective characteristics of living bodies, which are rather difficult to be obtained due to the limitations of experiments. Technologies to be investigated should provide unique records, which cannot be obtained by other techniques because of a very low energy of measured quantities and a significant noise.
Main goals
The main aim is to develop new technological solutions and new methodologies that directly allow increasing effectivity in diagnostics and therapy/rehabilitation of patients. It will be based on running basic research supported with planned animal/human experiments. The research is oriented to pure technical solutions (pulse laser technology, ultrasound tomography) but also to medical applications (cardiovascular research, genomics, ventilation, etc.).
