Tilia Laboratories combine the idea of an equal diagnostic and intellectual approach to human and animal health, both in human and veterinary molecular genetics and molecular microbiology projects.
The combination of a veterinary and human diagnostic perspectives that we have decided to pursue almost 10 years ago, has enabled us to better understand the mutual relationship between humans and animals in regard to infectious diseases and common principles in genetics.
In the field of molecular genetics, we see many overlaps between inherited genetic syndromes in humans and animals, many similarities, general principles, and inspiration in the search for causative genetic changes / mutations in index individuals and their relatives.
In the field of molecular microbiology, we have understood that no one can be excluded from the complex ecosystem in which they live, and that there is a need for deeper insight into challenging diagnostic situations when a patient (either animal or human) seeks help. Here, molecular microbiology brings invaluable benefits and diagnostic capabilities.
Diagnostic work, both in the human and veterinary field, is also a source of great scientific inspiration for us, where we try to investigate interesting inputs further, within our research projects focused on both pillars of our activity - molecular genetics and molecular microbiology. Over the years, we have accumulated a significant amount of scientific work published in international peer-reviewed journals (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Pekova+s), while the source of all our new ideas and discoveries has invariably came from the authentic sample, either of human or animal origin, coming to our lab for the diagnostics of a challenging clinical situation.
Many years of experience in the industry also enabled us to keep developing and updating our diagnostic portfolio to reflect the requirements of clinical collaborators and also breeders.
Since we feel that our work brings a lot of information that we want to share with you and also learn from you, we decided to incorporate an educational part into our activities and invite you to lectures and educative meetings on selected topics that might be of special interest for you.
We look forward to working with you, taking care of your health and the health of your pets, and also to our regular meetings at our lab, conveniently located some 15 minutes off the Prague outskirts. There are comfortable parking spaces here at your disposal, and the quiet location outside of Prague might also help to absorb stimulating ideas during our regular educational events to which you are heartily invited.
