The 4EU+ Visiting Professorship project submitted by Prof. Tomas Zima, former Rector of Charles University, brings together the Institute of Medical Biochemistry and Laboratory Diagnostics at Charles University and the Department of Biomedical Sciences for Health at the University of Milano. This collaborative endeavour aims to advance knowledge in the field of cardiometabolic diseases through lectures and seminars on laboratory medicine topics, as well as joint publications. An integral part of the project is the establishment of an inter-university centre dedicated to "Biomarkers of Organ Diseases." With activities encompassing teaching comparisons, research discussions, and the preparation of future educational programmes, the project is expected to have a profound impact on the educational and research landscape of all involved entities.
