Monika Pávková Goldbergová Research Group:
Metals in Medicine

The research group of prof. Pávková Goldbergová focuses on basic and applied research in the field of metals used in implantology and nanostructures (nanoparticles and nanostructured surfaces) and their effect on the organism, especially at the cellular and tissue level. As part of the methodology and experience used, the group builds on its longitudinal research on the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases and rheumatoid arthritis at the DNA and protein level, which has been ongoing since 2000. Monika Pávková Goldbergová graduated from the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University Brno in 2000. She began her career at the Department of Pathological Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University Brno, where she still works today. Her publication portfolio currently includes: 72 items in WoS with an h-index of 13, 3 validated methodologies and 2 monographs. She was or is the principal investigator or co-investigator of a total of 5 research and development projects (2x co- investigator of GA ČR projects, 2x principal investigator and 1x co- investigator of IGA/AZV projects), one applied project (TA ČR GAMA) and teaching projects under the MU.

The focus of Monika Pávková Goldbergova's team is related to the highly desirable multidisciplinary connection of the academic environment connecting biological and technical fields, including foreign cooperation (University Hospital Brno, University Hospital USA, CEITEC, IPM ASCR, VÚVL, 3rd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, Paris Diderot University and Hospital Lariboisiere ).
