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>

SETAC: The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry

<h3><strong>Our Story</strong></h3>
<p>SETAC was founded in the late 1970s to be a forum for interdisciplinary communication among environmental scientists – biologists, chemists, toxicologists – as well as managers and engineers and others interested in environmental issues. SETAC was incorporated in Washington, DC, USA, in 1979 and soon grew to be a global entity.</p>
<p>SETAC is concerned about global environmental issues and is committed to <a href="https://www.setac.org/?page=Mission"><strong>Environmental Quality Through Science®</strong></a>. SETAC takes a multidisciplinary, multistakeholder and science-based approach to identifying solutions for environmental challenges. Because of its approach, SETAC’s development and the growth of the environmental movement are closely associated.</p>
<p>SETAC’s growth from SETAC North America has been marked by the establishment of Geographic Units around the world: SETAC Europe in 1989, SETAC Asia-Pacific in 1997, SETAC Latin America in 1999 and SETAC Africa in 2012, as well as regional chapters and branches at the more local level. </p>
<p>A unique strength of SETAC is its commitment to balance the scientific interests of government, academia and business. The society&#39;s <a href="https://www.setac.org/?page=Mission"><strong>by-laws</strong></a> mandate equal representation from these three sectors for officers, World Council, Geographic Unit boards of directors and councils, and committee members and governance of activities. The proportion of members from each of the three sectors has remained nearly equal over the years.</p>

<p><strong>SETAC is dedicated to advancing environmental science and science-informed decision-making through collaboration, communication, education and leadership. We fulfill that purpose through events, publications, awards and education programs.</strong></p>
