International Clinical ResearchCenter Brno ICRC is a conceptually novel project in biomedical research and clinical patient care which is being developed by the Czech Republic and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota . The goal of ICRC consists of creating a research platform to allow cutting edge clinical research being conducted in the central Europe, particularly in Brno , Czech Republic . Origins of the ICRC Project At the beginning of the ICRC concept was a close and fruitful collaboration between physicians and researchers in the Cardiology Department of http www.fnusa.cz geninfo.php St. Anne s Hospital in Brno , Czech Republic , and their counterparts at the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases at the Mayo Clinic , Rochester, Minnesota . Particularly the stay of MUDr. Tomas Kara, Ph.D. in the laboratory of Dr. Virend Somers at the Mayo clinic in early 2000 established the high yield of such cooperation, and led to the origins of the idea that a new and globally competitive scientific facility would be needed in Brno , Czech Republic , to support the increasing depth and complexity of research projects being conducted by Mayo and St. Anne s Hospital. The team led by Dr. Kara ultimately recommended building of a new state of the art facility ICRC in the heart of the http www.fnusa.cz geninfo.php St. Anne s Hospital in Brno , Czech Republic which would be sufficiently equipped to support an ongoing global cooperation with the world wide leader in translational biomedical research, the Mayo Clinic .
