In November, our representatives flew to Miami, USA to establish cooperation and discuss opportunities for joint scientific activities, knowledge transfer and also exchange visits with representatives of Larkin University College of Pharmacy.
A new science story is unfolding in Miami. Larkin University, a center of excellence in medical education, has joined forces with our Faculty of Pharmacy at Masaryk University. This collaboration brings a breath of fresh air to the world of pharmacy and creates space for international research and development.
As a result of the visit, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed that legally outlines the close collaboration between the two institutions. The collaboration between Larkin University and Masaryk University's Faculty of Pharmacy will provide a stimulus for innovative research in pharmacology, development of drugs and therapeutic approaches. Students and researchers from both institutions will be able to share ideas and work on projects with the potential to change trends in the pharmaceutical industry.
"The Memorandum includes approval and support for exchange internships for academic staff and students who can work at partner university and bring new perspective to the research projects being carried out," says Prof. Karel Šmejkal, PharmD, PhD, Vice Dean for International Relations and Internationalisation of the Faculty of Pharmacy MU.
On Wednesday 16 October, the first edition of the Core Facility Day Life Sciences 2024 took place at the CEITEC building in the Bohunice campus. The aim of the day-long conference, which welcomed all academic and non-academic staff from Masaryk University, as well as the public, was to present professional services, equipment and facilities that can be used for research activities.
In the latest MUNIPHARM talks episode, our student ambassador Martina sits down to chat with Jimena and Veronica, students from Spain who spent last year at our faculty within the Erasmus+ study programme.
