His scientific career has been devoted to understanding the function of
metalloproteinases, especially their role in vivo using mouse models.
Radek Sedláček was recruited to IMG to establish transgenic technology and infrastructure for generation, archiving and distribution of mouse models.
He supports a number of scientific groups in the Czech Republic and European countries with his expertise in the field of generation of transgenic mouse models, he proposed, designed, and is managing the Czech Centre for Phenogenomics (CCP) that is integral part of the Programme on Functional Genomics;
Besides being a member of the Board of Directors of EMMA and INFRAFRONTIER, he also represents the Czech Republic in the Thematic Working Group on Biological and Medical sciences (BMS) under ESFRI (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures) and coordinates BMS infrastructures in the Czech Republic. R. Sedláček holds also broad interaction with national and international scientific partners in the field of mouse disease models and functional genomics. These expertise and interactions link together the groups of the research programme and create a cooperation base for external partners.
