More information

Previous Following

The National Centre for Biomolecular Research (NCBR) is a department at the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University in Brno. Our research centre is located in the modern premises of the University Campus Bohunice, with the Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) and the Faculty of Medicine. This unique synergy and state-of-the-art equipment allows us to conduct cutting-edge research in the fields of bio-omics and structural biology. Our research integrates experimental techniques with computer simulations and bioinformatic analyses. At the Centre, we support talented students at all levels of study (undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral), including mentoring secondary school students in Students` Professional Activity (SPA) projects.

Upcoming events

14–25 Jul

Summer School - Multiscale Modelling Methods

9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Study cutting-edge computer simulations to solve chemical and biochemical problems ranging from supramolecular chemistry to structural biology. Explore a world beyond the reach of experimental methods, where molecular modelling plays a pivotal role in rationalising new materials, understanding the foundations of life, and designing new drugs.

Registration deadlines: 1st May 2025, 23:59 (early birds); 30th June 2025, 23:59 (final)

Improving end-of-trip cycling facilities on the University Campus at Bohunice

If you use a bike or scooter for transport to the University campus, you can fill the questionnaire on Improving end-of-trip cycling facilities. Results will help us to understand the current state of bike parking and other end-of-trip cycling facilities on the Bohunice campus. Data from this questionnaire will feed into a design proposal for improving cycling facilities on campus. In collaboration with the Management of the University Campus at Bohunice, we aim to deliver these improvements by the end of 2024.
