We operate an institution that includes the following scientific departments: the Institute of Entomology, the Institute of Hydrobiology, the Institute of Parasitology, the Institute of Molecular Plant Biology and the Institute of Soil Biology. We organize conferences, seminars and workshops. We provide expert witness services.

We are engaged in applied research and development aimed at expanding knowledge and developing practical means useful in the field of radiation protection and protection against chemical and biological agents misused as weapons of mass destruction.

Species conservation of selected groups of animals including the promotion of valuable and endangered habitats. Processing of biological surveys of areas and animals.

Bioprospecting is focused on applied ecology related to the authorization to carry out biological evaluation in the sense of § 67 according to §45 i of the Act No. 114/1992 Coll., on Nature and Landscape Protection, as amended. The services offered provide a broad "ecological service" for the implementation of a construction or mining project.

We provide research on vertebrates at population and community levels. We specialize in evolutionary ecology, biodiversity, applied ecology and medical zoology. We contribute to increasing the level of knowledge and education and to the application of scientific research results in practice.

Our centre is a joint project of six institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences and two faculties of Charles University in Prague. We focus on research and development in the fields of biotechnology and biomedicine.

The institute deals with agrotechnics, nutrition, physiology, chemistry, quality, genetics, breeding and conservation of potatoes. It provides consultancy services. We carry out verification of the properties of plant protection products, diagnosis of viruses and quarantine bacterial diseases of potato.

The Institute of Biology and Medical Genetics provides genetic testing and genetic consultations for patients throughout the field of medical genetics. It performs cytogenetic prenatal and postnatal examinations and indicates genetic preventive methods. Molecular genetic testing for inherited diseases.

We carry out custom research and development. We sell specialized instruments and chemicals for molecular biology, proteomics and genomics laboratories. We offer plastics for PCR, transfection reagents for DNA, siRNA and antibodies, DNA and RNA isolation kits, EtBr destroyer and much more.

We are dedicated to the conservation and use of natural resources. We focus on improving the characteristics, resistance and health of plants. We run a department of genetics, plant science, agroecology, plant nutrition and field trials. We publish publications and organise exhibitions. We provide expert advice.
