The Andrysik Lab, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University and The Krtek Children's Oncology Endowment Fund hosted their second annual fundraising event.
The Andrysik Lab from the Department of Biology, Faculty of Medicine, partnered with The Krtek Children's Oncology Endowment Fund to host a successful fundraising event benefiting children with cancer. Lab members prepared a stand featuring homemade cakes and treats, inviting the community to contribute donations of any amount.
The event drew an enthusiastic response, with generous contributions from numerous participants. Building on last year's achievement of raising 20,000 CZK, this year's event exceeded that success with an even more impressive turnout and support. What began as a single initiative has evolved into an annual tradition.
The organisers extend their sincere thanks to all lab members, foundation volunteers, and everyone in the community who recognised this important cause and chose to support it.

“We have proven that the results of our research groups have a direct impact on practice and on the lives of our patients,” said Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk University, Jaroslav Štěrba, at the EXCELES program’s review conference held in the residence of the Mayor of the City of Prague on 2 December 2025. The event brought together key biomedical institutions from across the country. It highlighted the unique contribution of the national projects financed by the National Recovery Plan—primarily fostering collaboration instead of the previous fragmentation—to clinical practice and public health.
