Personalised medicine as a key to treatment of rare diseases
Traditional treatments based on chemical drugs do not always work for RARE DISEASES. They often focus on treating symptoms but fail to reverse the course of the disease itself. Personalised medicine using cell and gene therapies has the potential to reverse the negative prognosis of patients with unmet medical needs for whom there is no currently available conventional treatment.

Horizon Europe Teaming for Excellence
CREATIC is Horizon Europe Teaming for Excellence project submitted in 9/2022. Masaryk University has established a partnership with Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology IZI, Leipzig University and Copenhagen University to establish R&D centre of excellence focused on Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP). The strategic objectives of the project aim to use a grant of €15 million for 6 years in order to create an excellent facility for ATMP R&D focused on undiagnosed untreatable rare diseases, paediatric patients with high-risk tumours, and adult cancer patients suitable for ATMP treatment.
Creating pathways to available cell and gene therapy for rare diseases
CREATIC draws on decades of experience in the research, development and manufacture of pharmaceuticals at the Large Research Infrastructure CZECRIN. It offers a comprehensive range of services and support that are essential for the successful implementation of clinical trials, especially in the field of rare diseases and the development of advanced therapy medicinal products.
CREATIC has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action under the Grant agreement number 101059788.
The CREATIC Investment project submitted in the TEAMING-CZ I call (P JAC) is a complementary investment support for the CREATIC project submitted in the Teaming for Excellence (HE) call. The aim of the CREATIC Investment project is to provide complementary funding necessary for the further progress of the CREATIC (HE) project.
