National Institute of Virology and BacteriologyUnited to combat future pandemics

The National Institute of Virology and Bacteriology (NIVB) is a unique platform uniting major virology and bacteriology research groups from eight leading Czech institutions. Its common goal is to fundamentally advance knowledge of viral and bacterial infections and strengthen society’s ability to respond effectively to future health threats. The establishment of the NIVB was driven by the experience gained during the COVID-19 pandemic, which demonstrated that coordinated and science-based action is key to effectively tackling global health crises. In three years, the NIVB has made remarkable progress not only in the development of advanced antiviral and antibacterial drugs, but also in the research on pathogen-host interactions and the improvement of prevention strategies. The NIVB project provides a stimulating environment for sharing of knowledge and expertise across the project consortium improving the quality of scientific work and the efficiency of using available resources. The NIVB also plays an important role in educating and developing young scientists, in particular PhD students, master’s students, and postdoctoral researchers. Here they have the opportunity to learn state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies, gain experience from working in excellent research teams, establish contacts with other scientists and thus prepare themselves for research careers at an international level. NIVB has become a member of the prestigious international Global Virus Network and is helping the public authorities of the Czech Republic to address acute epidemiological situations as well as long-term challenges, including the growing threat of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens. This publication offers a comprehensive overview of the mission, structure, objectives, and contributions of the NIVB and highlights its role as a key institute for understanding and managing infectious diseases with significant health, economic and societal impacts. With the establishment of the National Institute of Virology and Bacteriology (NIVB), we are better prepared to address future epidemics and emerging pathogenic threats. NIVB is rapidly becoming a respected and equal partner not only within the Czech Republic but also across the European and global research landscape. This comprehensive publication offers you a firsthand look at our progress and achievements.
