The doctoral study provides the graduates of MSc study in the area of biomedical electronics and biocybernetics with a higher degree of education, deepening their theoretical background.
The study is aimed at deepening of theoretical knowledge of students in advanced mathematics, physics and in disciplins forming the theoretical basis of the chosen field. Also, necessary experience in experimental work and in processing of the obtained results should be provided, including exploitation of advanced methods of applied informatics.
The final goal is that the students will master methods of scientific research.

BOD> A graduate of the doctoral study is expected to be a distinct personality with a recognised research result, wide horizon of knowledge and ability to solve complex scientific and technical-research tasks in the field of biomedical electronics and biocybernetics and in neighbouring fields.
Maximum flexibility and professional adaptivity is the undisputed property of a graduate of doctoral study.
The graduates of the doctoral study in biomedical electronics and biocybernetics will be capable of working as scientists and researchers involved in basic or applied research namely in medical or biological area, as leading specialists in development and construction departments of research and development institutions, and in manufacturing enterprises or institutions exploiting advanced technology, namely in biomedical field.

Graduate of doctoral programme should be a strong personality with substantial scientific results, large horizon and ability to solve complex scientific and research technical tasks in area of biomedical electronics and biocybernetics. He/she will have maximum flexibility and professional adaptability in wide area of biomedical engineering. Graduates will be able to work as scientific and research staff in basic and applied research, as specialists in development, construction and production, in research institutes and at industrial companies and users of medical devices and applied information technologies in medicine and biology.

1. Digital methods for detection of DNA changes and searching for oncogenes

   The project deals with research of alternances of DNA copy numbers in a part of humane genome. It is a proces that influences physiological genetic diversity of healthy individuals and that is a potential precursor of cancer and other genetic diseases in the same time. Alternances are present in a very low number in a large genome and their prediction is difficult. The problem can be solved using methods of digital signal processing. In the project, data from multiple individuals of various world populations stored in 1000 Genome Project database will be used as well as data from Cancere Genome Atlas. The project will be financially supported by grant project GAČR 102/11/1068 "Nano-electro-bio-tools for biochemical and molecular-biological studies of eukaryotic cells (NanoBioTECell)".
