About NCMG

National Center for Medical Genomics

Medical genomics is a dynamically evolving scientific discipline that gathers and uses the genomic information of patients, their genetic relatives and even the entire population to identify the genetic, genomic and molecular basis of human health and disease. NCMG is a distributed scientific infrastructure, which consists of following genomic laboratories: First and Second Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Medicine in  Pilsen, Charles University in Prague, General University Hospital in Prague, Motol University Hospital; BIOCEV - Biotechnology and Biomedicine Center of the Academy of Sciences and Charles University in Vestec; Department of Internal Medicine, Hematology and Oncology (IHOK) and Centre of molecular biology and gene therapy (CMBGT) at University Hospital Brno; Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) at Masaryk University at Brno; Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine at Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at Palacký University Olomouc; University Hospital in Pilsen.

The objective of NCMG is to provide for an operation of next generation sequencing platforms and subsequent technologies for analysis of human genomes and to allow qualified usage of these technologies in biomedical research and translational medicine in Czech Republic. Different localization and partially different specialization of individual laboratories guarantee expansion of genomics in CR, corresponding with global trends. NCMG laboratories are equipped with modern instruments and provide fundamental instrumental, methodical and experimental expertise, which is necessary for genomic sequencing, whole genome genotyping, cytogenetic analysis and analysis of genome, transcriptome and epigenome. NCMG is also equipped with corresponding computational and data storage resources and offers bioinformatics and statistics support for projects with focus on study of both complex and rare diseases and also oncological diseases.

NCMG and COVID-19 testing - 9. 10. 2020

Stanislav Kmoch on know-how that made testing for Covid safer

Professor Stanislav Kmoch has been researching rare diseases for thirty years. In the current coronavirus pandemic, knowledge from his laboratory, which is part of the NCMG, has significantly contributed to the development of a new procedure for the diagnosis of covid-19 and other viral diseases. "It's a secondary but nice result of our many years of research into rare diseases," Kmoch describes the creation of the university spin-off GeneSpector.

GeneSpector provides a unique solution for rapid Covid-19 detection.

  • viRNAtrap™ Collection Tube inactivates the infectious agents developed for save operations at ambient temperature
  • viRNAtrap™ Extraction Kit is a best-in-class solution for fast and high throughput extraction at any open automated platform or when using manual work-up
  • high-quality PCR kits for fast COVID-19 detection
  • triplex COVID-INFA-INFB (to be launched in October 2020)

NCMG and COVID-19 testing - 14. 4. 2020

- Researchers from the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine and the National Center for Medical Genomics have developed a functional covid19 system in clinical material within 14 days.

A wide academic community has joined an initiative that aims to help with laboratory testing for COVID-19. Researchers from several departments of the 1st Medical Faculty of Charles University - from the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Department of Biochemistry and Experimental Oncology, Department of Biology and Medical Genetics and Department of Immunology and Microbiology and the National Center of Medical Genomics developed in 14 days functional system for the determination of covid19 in clinical material. This system has been used by the VFN for two weeks to test employees and admitted patients. As stated by prof. Ing. Stanislav Kmoch, CSc., Currently about 100 samples are examined daily. The much higher capacity of the established procedure is so far limited by the logistics of sampling, administration and the demands on the processing of potentially infectious material. Employees of the 1st Faculty of Medicine of Charles University thus help to increase the capacity in testing for COVID-19 in the Czech Republic and together with VFN significantly contribute to managing epidemiological problems in this difficult time, adds another scientist, prof. RNDr. Libuše Kolářová, CSc.

Open Access

NCMG is a distributed multi-centered, nation-wide research infrastructure. The expertise and instrumentation available within NCMG can be used by the users from the Czech Republic and from abroad as well. It can be also used by the commercial sector. NCMG provides transparent information to their (potential) users on the access rules. NCMG through individual nodes (core facilities) support their users by providing an access to its instrumentation, analytical expertise, bioinformatic and statistical support, education and training and by providing an access to well defined cohorts of patients, control individuals and various clinical materials. Users have to adapt to the concrete access rules of the core facility they visit.

Users are obliged to acknowledge NCMG in any output (publications, patents, public presentations) that were created by using the NCMG instrumentation or expertise:

Since 2023: 

"The National Center for Medical Genomics" or "The NCMG research infrastructure" (LM2023067)

 

Since 2020:

"The project "Modernization and instrumental upgrade of the National Center for Medical Genomics" (reg. No. CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/18_046/0015515) is supported by the Operational Programme Research, Development and Education."

and

„We acknowledge the CF [name of the Core Facility] supported by the NCMG research infrastructure (LM2018132 funded by MEYS CR) for their support with obtaining scientific data presented in this paper.“

Before 2020:
