<p> The Academy employs over 8,000 employees, more than a half of whom are researchers with university degrees.</p>
<p>The primary mission of the CAS and its institutes is to conduct research in a broad spectrum of the natural, technical and social sciences and the humanities. This research, whether highly specialised or interdisciplinary in nature, aims to advance developments in scientific knowledge at the international level, while also taking into account the specific needs of both the Czech society and the national culture. Researchers of the Academy institutes also participate in education, particularly through doctoral study programmes for young researchers and by teaching at universities as well. The Academy also fosters collaboration with applied research and industry. The integration of the Czech science into the international context is being promoted by means of numerous joint international research projects and through the exchange of scientists with counterpart institutions abroad. The CAS is financed primarily from the state budget. </p>
<p>The CAS has also been assigned financial responsibility for 71 specialised Czech scientific societies associated with the Council of Scientific Societies.</p>

RECETOX - Research Centre for Toxic Compounds in the Environment

<h3><strong>About RECETOX</strong></h3>
<p>Founded in 1983,  RECETOX is an independent department of Masaryk University’s Faculty of Science. We are engaged in research and education in the fields of environmental and health. Our main activities comprise of monitoring toxic compounds in the environment, various products and human tissues, and evaluating the risks they pose, as well as their associated toxicological and ecotoxicological health effects; developing new sampling and analytical methods; developing new chemical tools and methodologies, biotechnologies and software tools. We are equipt to rapidly respond to new challenges concerning environmental contamination monitoring and exposure of the population to toxic compounds and their mixtures, and propose preventive and legislative measures, and offer appropriate interventions for chemicals management. </p>
<p>We work closely with various industrial partners to safeguard human health and ecosystems from the effects of toxic compounds,. Furthermore, through hosting of the National Center for Toxic Compounds, and the Stockholm Convention Regional Center (SCRC) for capacity building and transfer of technology, we support countries in Europe and Africa, as well as international institutions in the region. </p>
<p>RECETOX’s Research Infrastructure, is a centralized facility for the implementation of interdisciplinary research projects, and is divided into individual core facilities that analyze a wide range of anthropogenic natural substances and toxins in environmental or biological matrices, conduct long-term environmental and population studies, and develop sophisticated software tools for management, analysis, interpretation, and visualization of data. </p>
<p>RECETOX provides multidisciplinary education in bachelor&#39;s, master&#39;s, and doctoral degree programs in the fields of environmental health, mathematical biology, and biomedicine.</p>

<blockquote>
<h4><em>“Our vision is to become an internationally recognized Centre of Excellence that promotes and implements education and research aimed at understanding how environmental factors affect human health, aging and well-being, and developing innovative approaches for environmental and health protection, and interventional tools for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.”</em></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Prof. Jana Klánová</strong> (Director of the RECETOX Centre)</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<h3><strong>Science and Research</strong></h3>
<p>We study the relationships between chemicals, the environment, biological systems, and human health, and monitor their impacts at local, regional, and global levels. </p>
<p>Research is carried out by 19 research groups in five research programs.</p>
<h5><strong>Research Agenda</strong></h5>
<p>RECETOX studies the behavior of contaminants and models their long-distance transport and bioaccumulation in living organisms; this includes evaluating the effects of toxic substances on the environment and health, and developing methods and tools to break them down.</p>
<h5><strong>Interdisciplinary Approach</strong></h5>
<p>Our extensive expertise enables us to explore the complex relationships between contaminated ecosystems and population health, biodiversity, and climate change, assess their local and regional impacts, and develop water and soil remediation technologies and tools.</p>
<h5><strong>Environment and Health</strong></h5>
<p>In recent years, the Center&#39;s research focus has expanded to cover the various factors affecting human health and well-being, the so-called exposome, chemical safety, and the development of biotechnology, materials, and bioinformatics tools for biomedicine.</p>
<h4><strong>Our motivation</strong></h4>
<p>Due to the growing number of older adults and the resulting increase in the burden of chronic diseases and societal demands, most developed countries face long-term rises in healthcare costs and thus pressure on health insurance systems. This increase makes chronic diseases, together with health inequalities, two of the most challenging problems of the 21st century. To effectively address these problems, the factors that determine the health of humans and entire populations must be clarified and explored. </p>
<p>Individuals and populations are exposed to many environmental factors, such as heat, noise, light pollution, and a wide range of chemicals and their mixtures. These chemicals enter the body via the food and water we ingest, products we use daily (e.g., cosmetics), the air we breathe, and the indoor environments (buildings, offices) we work or live in. While many of these chemicals have been shown to interfere with the proper functioning of the endocrine and immune systems, causing neurodevelopmental, metabolic, and reproductive disorders, the combined effects of toxic mixtures and other environmental factors, which can also be influenced by stress, socioeconomic determinants, lifestyle or dietary habits, have not yet been fully elucidated.</p>
<p>Therefore, we aim to build research capacity for investigating the exposure of populations to the environmental factors (so-called Exposome) mentioned above, estimate internal exposure and individual susceptibility, predict the risks to human health, and thereby contribute to clarifying the etiology of chronic conditions. </p>
<h4><strong>Research programs</strong></h4>
<h5><strong>Environmental chemistry and modelling</strong></h5>
<ul>
<li>The research programme focuses on understanding the mechanisms and processes affecting the emissions and fate of chemicals in the environment and further expands its interest in study of the exposure of individuals and populations to the environment in order to provide tools for common interpretation of data from environmental monitoring and human biomonitoring networks.</li>
</ul>
<h5><strong>Environmental health</strong></h5>
<ul>
<li>The new research program deals with biomarkers of exposure, effect and sensitivity of individual organisms, and other factors such as socio-economic determinants of health, nutrition or physical activity. In this context, we are strengthening technology capabilities for omics analyses, biobanking capacities and developing a bioinformatics platform to support the interpretation of multi-omics and epidemiological data.</li>
</ul>
<h5><strong>Environmental Toxicology</strong></h5>
<ul>
<li>Programme focuses on the environmental impacts of both acute and chronic chemical exposures. We use the Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) combining modeling and testing strategies to predict the environmental impacts of complex chemical mixtures. We investigate combined exposures to various factors that, based on individual susceptibility, can significantly contribute to an individual&#39;s excessive burden and lead to the development of pathologies.</li>
</ul>
<h5><strong>Chemical Tools for Diagnostics and Therapy</strong></h5>
<ul>
<li>The programme focuses on the development of new photoactivatable systems and supramolecular carriers as specific systems that exhibit specific biological activities or serve as auxiliary systems for biological or medical applications.</li>
</ul>
<h5><strong>Loschmidt laboratories of Protein Engineering</strong></h5>
<ul>
<li>The research programme has been dealing with the basic principles of enzymatic catalysis and development of protein and cellular biocatalysts for environmental, chemical and biomedical applications. The program uses protein engineering, synthetic biology and analysis of large data stored in genomic databases to develop and prepare useful catalysts.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Studying at RECETOX</strong></h3>
<p>Multidisciplinary study programs incorporating a vast array of fields, were specifically designed to address the highly complex interactions between environment and health.</p>
<p>Successful completion of the programs paves the way to countless career opportunities in the public (research, government) as well as private sectors.</p>
<h5><strong>2 new study programs</strong></h5>
<ul>
<li>To better meet the growing social, scientific, and corporate demand for professionals in the environment and health, and associated fields, two new study programs were introduced in 2018</li>
</ul>
<h5><strong>500+ Graduates</strong></h5>
<ul>
<li>Since RECETOX’s inception, more than 500 students have successfully graduated from the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs. Many more are joining thanks to their increasing popularity</li>
</ul>
<h5><strong>Modern research infrastructure</strong></h5>
<ul>
<li>Studying is supported by state of the art equipment. The center operates 50 high-end laboratories occupying an area of 4,000m2, several accredited laboratories, and a biobank</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Research Infrastructure (RI)</strong></h3>
<p>The state-of-the-art Research Infrastructure, consisting of three main Core Facilities, supports the Center’s research activities; It operates in Open-Access, providing services to internal and external users from academia and industry.</p>
<p>The composition of core facilities forming the Research Infrastructure provides the basis for the implementation of interdisciplinary research projects which incorporate:</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Analysis of a wide spectrum of anthropogenic and natural toxins in various environmental and biological matrices</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Long-term environmental and population studies</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Development of comprehensive software tools for data management, analysis, interpretation, and visualization</p>

EPA: United States Environmental Protection Agency

<h3><strong>Our Mission and What We Do</strong></h3>
<h4><strong>Our Mission</strong></h4>
<p>The mission of EPA is to protect human health and the environment.</p>
<p><strong>EPA works to ensure that:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Americans have clean air, land and water;</li>
<li>National efforts to reduce environmental risks are based on the best available scientific information;</li>
<li>Federal laws protecting human health and the environment are administered and enforced fairly, effectively and as Congress intended;</li>
<li>Environmental stewardship is integral to U.S. policies concerning natural resources, human health, economic growth, energy, transportation, agriculture, industry, and international trade, and these factors are similarly considered in establishing environmental policy;</li>
<li>All parts of society--communities, individuals, businesses, and state, local and tribal governments--have access to accurate information sufficient to effectively participate in managing human health and environmental risks;</li>
<li>Contaminated lands and toxic sites are cleaned up by potentially responsible parties and revitalized; and</li>
<li>Chemicals in the marketplace are reviewed for safety.</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/US_Environmental_Protection_Agency_profile_1_eebaebe6cc.jpg" alt="EPA: US Environmental Protection Agency."/></p>
<h4><strong>To accomplish this mission, we:</strong></h4>
<h5><strong>Develop and enforce regulations</strong></h5>
<p>When Congress writes an environmental law, we implement it by writing regulations. Often, we set national standards that states and tribes enforce through their own regulations. If they fail to meet the national standards, we can help them. We also enforce our regulations, and help companies understand the requirements.</p>

<li><a href="https://www.epa.gov/enforcement"><strong>Enforcement</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<h5><strong>Give grants</strong></h5>
<p>Nearly half of our budget goes into grants to state environmental programs, non-profits, educational institutions, and others. They use the money for a wide variety of projects, from scientific studies that help us make decisions to community cleanups. Overall, grants help us achieve our overall mission: protect human health and the environment.</p>

<h5><strong>Sponsor partnerships</strong></h5>
<p>We don&#39;t protect the environment on our own.  We work with businesses, non-profit organizations, and state and local governments through dozens of partnerships. A few examples include conserving water and energy, minimizing greenhouse gases, re-using solid waste, and getting a handle on pesticide risks. In return, we share information and publicly recognize our partners.</p>
<h5><strong>Teach people about the environment</strong></h5>
<p>Protecting the environment is everyone&#39;s responsibility, and starts with understanding the issues. The basics include reducing how much energy and materials you use, reusing what you can and recycling the rest. There&#39;s a lot more about that to learn!</p>

<h3><strong>What we don&#39;t do</strong></h3>
<p>Some problems that seem like something we would handle are actually the responsibility of other federal, tribal, state or local agencies. It may be most appropriate for you to contact your city, county, or state environmental or health agency, or another federal agency, rather than EPA.  For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Endangered Species Act is primarily managed by the <a href="http://www.fws.gov/endangered/"><strong>U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.</strong></a></li>
<li>The <a href="https://energy.gov/em/office-environmental-management"><strong>Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management</strong></a> addresses the problem of nuclear waste.</li>

<h3><strong>Highlights</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Successful basic research and modern structure</strong></p>
<p>The quality of IOCB science is regularly and rigorously assessed by an international advisory board comprised of respected authorities from research institutes and universities around the world. IOCB has pioneered a progressive system of junior groups with talented scientists from different countries hired in an open international competition, during which they demonstrate their unique expertise and submit scientific proposals. Every five years, all research groups undergo a complex evaluation that strictly adheres to transparent rules based on scientific merit.</p>
<p><strong>Medicinal chemistry and drug development</strong></p>
<p>IOCB has always been active and successful in applied research and practical applications, particularly in medicinal chemistry. The tradition started in 1969 with an ointment called Dermazulen, which was followed by the development of several human peptide hormones and their analogues (lysin-vasopressin, oxytocin).</p>
<p>From a global perspective, the most significant contributions were acyclic nucleotide phosphonate antivirals (especially tenofovir as a component of Truvada, Atripla, and other anti-HIV and anti-HBV drugs) discovered by Prof. Antonín Holý at IOCB and later developed and marketed by Gilead Sciences, Inc.</p>
<p>Besides this well-known antiviral drug story, several other nucleoside compounds developed at IOCB became approved drugs. These include Decitabine, which is used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, Azacytidine, which targets myelodysplastic syndrome (both discovered by Holý’s peer Dr. Alois Pískala), and 9-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)adenine (DHPA), an acyclic nucleoside analogue discovered by Holý and used clinically in anti-herpes ointments.</p>

<p>The unique collaboration between IOCB Prague and Gilead Sciences, Inc. dates back to the 1990s. A partnership program called Gilead Sciences Research Centre at IOCB Prague was established in 2006 for an initial period of five years with an annual donation of $1.1 million to expand IOCB efforts in the field of human disease research. The program was renewed in 2011 and again in 2016 with increased annual funding of $1.35 million.</p>
