Centre of Biosciences SAS participated in the We Are SAV event in Bratislava.

In the spirit of the motto “Science through every cell,” the popular science event “We are SAV” took place on June 13 and 14, 2025, at Hviezdoslav Square in Bratislava. During the two-day event, 25 institutes of the Slovak Academy of Sciences presented their research activities and their enthusiasm for science to the public.


The Center for Biosciences SAS was represented by colleagues from the Institute of Animal Biochemistry and Genetics and the Institute of Molecular Physiology and Genetics. Visitors to our stand could glimpse the fascinating world of biology, from the beginning of life to the mysteries of cells.

As part of the program, “Did You Know That…?” there was a popularization lecture by Mgr. Katarína Macková, PhD. titled “Did You Know That 150 Cells Fundamentally Slowed Down Medical Research?”
The lecture focused on pluripotent cells and their impact on current biomedical research.

This year’s event was a great success, with huge public interest and motivating feedback.

Thank you to everyone who visited us! We look forward to seeing you again in 2026.
