1 Biomarkers: Identification and validation
| Project: | Identification of proteomic biomarkers in exhaled breath condensate in patients with systemic or pulmonary disease |

| Supervisors: | Džubák Petr M.D., Ph.D., Hajdúch Marián M.D., Ph.D. |
| Available: | 2 |
| Intended for: | Doctoral training |
| Summary: | Ph.D. topic is focused on the identification of biomarkers of lung diseases by means of a non-invasive collection of exhaled breath condensate. The project will monitor the presence of proteins in exhaled air in various diseases such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, lung tumors, or some infectious diseases, as well as quantitative changes of these proteins compared to a healthy population. Changes in these potential biomarkers with respect to therapeutic response and disease progression will be evaluated and validated. |
2 Pathophysiology and new drug targets
| Project: | Identification of molecular targets of anticancer therapy applying cell biology and proteomics tools |
|---|---|
| Supervisors: | Džubák Petr M.D., Ph.D., Hajdúch Marián M.D., Ph.D. |

| Intended for: | Doctoral training |
| Summary: | Selected, highly active derivatives of triterpenes, chelators and nucleosides will be studied with a view to identify the mechanisms of their antitumor effects. Advanced methods of cell biology, proteomics and genomics such as affinity purification of protein targets, CETSA and others will be used for their study. The identified targets will be validated in relation to their clinical relevance in anticancer therapy. |

|---|---|

| Intended for: | Doctoral training |
| Summary: | Mechanisms of tumor cell resistance to newly developed and existing nucleoside analog cytostatics will be studied. These drugs are used in most anti-cancer therapy protocols and the emergence of drug resistance is a major problem in the treatment of cancer patients. Resistant cell lines prepared in the past will be studied to identify the key mechanisms of resistance, which will be carried out by their detailed characterization using cell biology, but also proteomics and molecular genetics. The significance of the identified changes will be further verified on clinical material and will be applied in the development of new anticancer drugs from this class. |
