Interview in Veda Plus

Have you heard of luciferase? It is a phosphorescent enzyme that could help image tumors better than current contrast radioactive agents. Scientists from the Loschmidt Laboratories of the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University have developed a new type of luciferase that shines 11 times brighter than natural luciferase, allowing doctors to monitor the disease much earlier than now. In addition, it can also help in the testing of new drugs.
Hear more about luciferase in an interview with Daniel Pluskal and Jana Horackova (Loschmidt Laboratories), Dr. Tomas Barta (Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University) and Prof. Lenka Hernychova (Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute) in the Veda Plus programme.
