FORGENOM II

As part of the FORGENOM project, Dr. Ondrej Pös participated in the Science and Career Day  held on 9 December 2025 at the Gymnázium V. B. Nedožerského in Prievidza . During the event, he delivered a science-outreach lecture entitled “Breath-Taking Genetics: Every Breath Has Its Story” , focusing on the principles and clinical potential of liquid biopsy and breath biopsy. The lecture introduced high-school students to modern, minimally invasive biomedical research approaches

On 26 September 2025, the Science Park took part in European Researchers’ Night  in Bratislava at Stará tržnica, within the framework of FORGENOM II – Open Office . This year’s edition was dedicated to the theme of Chaos , offering a unique opportunity to explore how apparent disorder can reveal hidden structures and patterns through science. Visitors were invited to step behind the scenes of our research and engage in interactive activities demonstrating that chaos is often
