The 20th anniversary edition of the Doctoral Seminar dedicated to the memory of Academician Boďa took place on November 6–7, 2025, at the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice. This traditional event provides young scientists with an opportunity to present the results of their research, share experiences, and establish new collaborations in a…
We invite you to a mini-symposium focusing on the use of the electrophysiological method known as the “multielectrode array system” (MEA). Multi-electrode array (MEA) technology uses a grid of closely spaced microscopic electrodes that can detect the collective electrical signals of cells in their immediate vicinity (“field potential”) for passive, non-invasive monitoring of electrical activity….
The Centre of Biosciences SAS took part once again in the European Researchers’ Night 2025. Our Bratislava institutes – the Institute of Molecular Physiology and Genetics and the Institute of Animal Biochemistry and Genetics – joined forces at the Old Market Hall with the theme:“The Cell: Chaos That Makes Sense.” Visitors explored how cells generate…
Monosodium glutamate (MSG, E 621) is widely used in the food industry as a flavor and aroma enhancer. Results of experiments conducted at the Institute of Animal Physiology, Centre of Biosciences of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS), show that MSG consumption may pose a risk to successful conception and impair early embryonic development and…
Last weekend, September 05–07, 2025, Stará Lesná hosted the Visegrad Group Society for Developmental Biology Meeting 2025 (V4SDB), co-organized by the Institute of Animal Physiology of the Centre of Biosciences SAS. The unique setting, combined with keynote lectures from seven world-leading experts in embryology, developmental, and evolutionary biology, attracted an impressive 180 participants. The Academia…
