Who we are and what we do

The 34th Annual Izakovič Memorial provided GNTlabs by GENNET with another opportunity to present our results and engage in professional discussions with colleagues from other institutions. The main topics of the conference included clinical genetics, molecular genetics, prenatal diagnostics, and oncogenetics. Our team contributed with both lectures and posters.

Our experts from GNTlabs by GENNET participated in the 57th Annual Cytogenomics Conference held in Brno. Once again, our involvement was active.

The Centre of Medical Genetics and Reproductive Medicine, GENNET, a proud member of the FutureLife group, successfully hosted The Prague Spring Symposium 2024 on Friday, May 24th, 2024. This prestigious event, held in the beautiful city of Prague, marked the 7th edition of the symposium and brought together leading experts and practitioners in the field of reproductive medicine. The main founder of the event is Dr. David Stejskal.

The key to excellent and effective care is professionals who are constantly working to improve their knowledge. That's why our NIPT team (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing Team - pictured) travelled to Olomouc at the beginning of March for the 6th European Congress on Free DNA (cfDNA), which aimed to deepen experts' knowledge of cfDNA and its rapidly developing medical applications. In addition to gaining new knowledge, the GNTlabs team left an active footprint at the congress.

We are very pleased with the active participation of our genetics experts at the Martin Conference 2024, which took place in mid-March in Martin, Slovakia.

Our specialists played an active role in the Kapras Day 2024 clinical genetics conference, delivering two lectures and showcasing results stemming from the collaboration we take pride in: the synergy between the clinical part (the GENNET) and the laboratory part (the GNTlabs).

Dear Experts, we are pleased to invite you to the 7th international symposium on medical genetics and reproductive medicine called Prague Spring Symposium. This traditional international symposium will take place at the Prague Marriott Hotel on Friday, 24 May 2024. This event is under the auspices of GENNET in close partnership with GNTlabs. The professional programme was compiled by the guarantor and founder of the symposium, MUDr. David Stejskal. Do not miss this opportunity to meet with world experts and discuss a number of topics in the field of genetics and reproductive medicine. You can look forward to lectures by Professor Alan Handyside, a world-renowned geneticist, and Professor Andres Salumets, a biologist, biochemist and expert in reproductive medicine. This educational event is included in the system of lifelong medical education according to the Statutory Regulation No. 16 of the Czech Medical Chamber and is rated with 6 credits. For the detailed programme and to register, visit: https://www.praguespringsymposium.com/ We look forward to your participation!

On Thursday, 1 June, we ceremonially cut the ribbon of the new GNTlabs by GENNET genetic laboratories. The vision of the laboratories was presented in introductory speeches by GENNET CEO, Michal Fazekaš, together with the Head Physician of the Genetics Programme, Monika Koudová. FutureLife CEO, Francisco Lobbosco, and Managing Partner, Hartenberg Holding Jozef Janov, also wished the laboratories good luck. Symbolically, they not only opened the door for the laboratories to cooperate with clinics in the FutureLife group but also to realize the ambitions of GNTlabs to cooperate with healthcare providers from all over the world. With its capacity and equipment, GNTlabs is one of the largest and most modern genetic laboratories in Europe. This will make it possible to meet the demand for genetic services much faster and more efficiently, as well as to step up the level of care.

We are very proud – the head physician of our genetics programme, Monika Koudová, M.D., MBA and geneticist, Alena Puchmajerová, M.D., are co-authors of the book Hereditary Cancers in Clinical Practice, which was published last year. The novel approach and illustrative connection of the impact of genetics on real clinical practice across medical fields brought the book a significant award from the J. E. Purkyne Czech Medical Chamber – it won third place in the Book of the Year category! Congratulations to the whole team of authors. Messages from medical university students around the country suggest that the book will become a bestseller (not only) among young students.
