<p><strong>Už přes dvacet let se Peter Kollár zabývá experimentální farmakologií a mechanismy účinků studovaných látek. Proděkan Farmaceutické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity se svým týmem aktuálně hledá možnosti zesílení účinků protinádorové imunoterapie v kombinaci s jinými látkami.</strong></p><h4><strong>Proč vás kdysi zlákala právě oblast experimentální farmakologie?</strong></h4><p>Farmakologie mě ze všech předmětů na fakultě bavila nejvíc. Moji vědecko-výzkumnou práci ale zásadně formoval pobyt na Institutu farmakologického výzkumu Mario Negri v Miláně, kam jsem se dostal při doktorském studiu v letech 2001 až 2002. Tam jsem patřil do skupiny, která se – pro mě nově – věnovala experimentální farmakologii na buněčných liniích se zaměřením na oblast nádorových onemocnění. Po návratu se mi podařilo realizovat projekt na vybudování vůbec první laboratoře pro buněčné kultury na Farmaceutické fakultě Veterinární a farmaceutické univerzity, která začala fungovat v roce 2006.</p><blockquote><p>„<strong>Od začátku jsem se ve své laboratoři věnoval dvěma směrům, zkoumání účinků látek přírodního původu a látkám nově syntetizovaným</strong>.“</p></blockquote><h4><strong>Jaký výzkum jste tam tehdy realizoval?</strong></h4><p>Navazoval jsem na svoje zkušenosti z pobytu v Itálii z oblasti výzkumu látek s potenciálním protinádorovým působením. Od začátku jsem se ve své laboratoři věnoval dvěma směrům, zkoumání účinků látek přírodního původu a látkám nově syntetizovaným. Začal jsem v tomto spolupracovat s kolegy ze dvou ústavů naší fakulty: Ústavu přírodních léčiv a Ústavu chemických léčiv. Karel Šmejkal mi dokázal vytipovat látky přírodního původu, které by mohly mít zajímavé účinky v rámci protinádorové aktivity. Nejdelší dobu jsem se pak věnoval látkám ze dvou rostlin – morušovníku bílého (Morus alba) a pavlovnie plstnaté (Paulownia tomentosa).</p><h4><strong>Jaké konkrétní účinky jste u těchto látek zkoumali?</strong></h4><p>Na začátku jsme studovali převážně jejich schopnost zastavovat proliferaci u nádorových buněčných linií a ovlivňovat průběh buněčného cyklu. Látky pocházející z rostliny pavlovnie nás provázejí v našem výzkumu asi nejdelší dobu. Nejnověji zkoumáme jejich účinky v úplně nové oblasti, a to v kombinaci s již existujícími protinádorovými léčivy. Konkrétně se soustředíme na skupinu léčiv protinádorové imunoterapie.</p><h4><strong>Proč právě tato léčiva?</strong></h4><p>Jedná se o jeden z průlomových přístupů k léčbě nádorových onemocnění. Nicméně má i svá úskalí, mimo jiné na ně například může vzniknout rezistence a nejsou potom dostatečně účinná. Naším cílem je prozkoumat, jak by mohla tato léčiva na molekulární úrovni interagovat s jinými látkami, čímž by mohlo potenciálně dojít ke zvýšení účinku takových léčiv. Náš výzkum naznačuje, že některé látky přírodního původu by mohly mít uvedený potenciál. Samozřejmě jde jen o začátek hledání možného budoucího využití těchto vlastností. Naší ambicí není objevit přímo lék na rakovinu, ale rádi bychom otevírali nové cesty k dalšímu výzkumu.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Radek_Mica_Vyzkumny_tym_zleva_Jana_Melicharova_Martina_Cudova_Tereza_Kauerova_a_Peter_Kollar_b3752c14be.jpg" alt="Radek Miča: Výzkumný tým (zleva): Jana Melicharová, Martina Čudová, Tereza Kauerová a Peter Kollár" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Radek_Mica_Vyzkumny_tym_zleva_Jana_Melicharova_Martina_Cudova_Tereza_Kauerova_a_Peter_Kollar_b3752c14be.jpg 234w," sizes="100vw" width="870" height="580"></p><h4><strong>Co vás k této oblasti přivedlo?</strong></h4><p>Paradoxně to byl druhý směr, kterému se v naší laboratoři věnujeme, a to výzkum syntetických látek, které mají mimo jiné schopnost inhibovat signální dráhu STAT3. Ta je u řady nádorových buněk často nadměrně aktivována a pomáhá jim v růstu a přežití, čímž se stává zajímavým cílem pro budoucí protinádorová léčiva. Toto nám otevřelo i další cesty výzkumu, například oblast takzvaného drug repurposingu, kdy se u již existujících a schválených léčiv zkoumají možné jiné indikace a nová terapeutická využití. Existují totiž například léčiva používaná na léčbu jiných onemocnění než nádorových, u kterých byla objevena schopnost inhibovat dráhu STAT3, a my se věnujeme studiu jejich účinku vůči nádorovým buněčným liniím.</p><p>...</p>

Naší ambicí není objevit lék na rakovinu, ale otevírat nové cesty výzkumu

<p><strong>Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) payloads are the top choice when it comes to delivering a wide range of nucleic acid therapeutics, like RNA and plasmid DNA (pDNA). But when it comes to characterizing LNPs, assays for size, payload quantification and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) are split up in different steps that slow down any workflow. This split‑assay approach adds complexity, from increased pipetting steps to surfactants that alter pDNA structure and reduce reproducibility and sample throughput. As LNP programs scale up, researchers need simpler, faster LNP characterization in an EE% method that works with any nucleic acid payload.</strong></p><p>In this SelectScience® webinar, Dr. Kevin Lance, Director of Product Management at Unchained Labs, will present new data showing how Stunner AF measures EE% for both RNA‑ and pDNA‑containing LNPs without surfactants, and will demonstrate how avoiding surfactant‑driven particle disruption creates a platform EE% assay that also allows simultaneous reads on size and aggregation from the same measurement. You will learn how to integrate Stunner AF into RNA‑ and pDNA‑LNP screening, formulation optimization, and QC workflows to capture more LNP data in far less time.</p><h4><strong>Key learning objectives:</strong></h4><ul><li>Learn how to characterize size, payload amount, and encapsulation efficiency in a single, one-instrument assay.</li><li>Understand the challenges with pDNA payloads and what steps to take to overcome them.</li><li>Explore the challenges and latest approaches in UV/Vis quantification of LNPs and their payloads.</li><li>Understand how surfactant‑free EE% measurements preserve particle integrity for both RNA‑ and pDNA‑LNPs.</li><li>Learn how to streamline high‑throughput LNP screening with up to 44 samples plus standards on a single 96‑well plate.</li></ul><h4><strong>Who should attend?</strong></h4><ul><li>Formulation and analytical scientists developing and optimizing biologic drug products – including conjugated LNPs, novel formulations, stability studies, excipient screening, and biophysical characterization.</li><li>Process development teams translating early formulations into scalable, manufacturable processes.</li></ul><h4><strong>Certificate of attendance</strong></h4><p>If you attend the live webinar, you will automatically receive a certificate of attendance, including a learning outcomes summary, for continuing education purposes.</p><p>If you view the on-demand webinar, you can request a certificate of attendance by emailing editor@selectscience.net.</p><h4><strong>Webinar details</strong></h4><ul><li><strong>Cost:</strong> Free to attend</li><li><strong>Location:</strong> Online</li><li><strong>Duration: </strong>60 minutes</li></ul><p><i>Registration is required to secure your place.

<h4><strong>The Problem</strong></h4><p>Lab automation promises speed and scale, but too often it operates without intelligence. Researchers must translate scientific intent into rigid workflows, scripts, and parameters — requiring deep expertise and constant manual intervention. As experiments grow more complex, automation becomes harder to adapt, forcing scientists to rely on guesswork and slowing iteration.</p><h4><strong>The Solution</strong></h4><p>Stuntman brings native AI into automation to fundamentally change how experiments are run. With built-in intelligence, Stuntman allows researchers to describe their intent in plain language and have experiments designed, executed and analyzed end-to-end. Stuntman creates workflows, runs experiments, logs results, and hands data back for AI-driven interpretation – guiding experiments forward with clarity, adaptability, and purpose.</p><h4><strong>The Proof</strong></h4><p>In this webinar, see how Stuntman turns ideas into executable experiments across pharma, biopharma, materials, energy, consumer goods workflows, and more. Learn how Stuntman’s built-in AI enables experiment design, automated execution and rapid iteration — all on a single, integrated platform.</p><h4><strong>Key Learning Objectives:</strong></h4><ul><li>Understand why traditional lab automation struggles to scale with experimental complexity and where intelligence is missing.</li><li>See how Stuntman embeds native AI into automation workflows to translate scientific intent into executable experiments.</li><li>Learn how a fully integrated platform connects experiment design, execution, data logging, and AI-driven iteration across industries.</li></ul><blockquote><p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Ruja Shrestha (Product Manager, Unchained Labs)</p><p><strong>Presenter:&nbsp;</strong>Sara Kobilka (Contributing Editor, C&amp;EN Media Group)</p></blockquote>
