The $10 million funding is part of a $220 million grant to Mayo Clinic’s collaborator, St. Anne’s University Hospital in Brno, the Czech Republic. The overall award will be used to support clinical research and education at the International Clinical Research Center at St. Anne’s and will focus initially on cardiovascular and neurological studies. Mayo’s portion will support the collaboration in the United States.
It is anticipated that because of the novel research involved, the center’s work will advance medical research, education and patient care in Europe and beyond. The Mayo Clinic-ICRC collaboration in Brno and the grant application were fostered by a decade of close scientific relationships between the investigators in both institutions.
