Sustainable Archives and Greener Approaches; SAGACREA-CUL; Creative Europe Programme (CREA); Call: European Cooperation projects (CREA-CULT-2024-COOP); Project No. 101173303, 2024-2027. In this project, the “health” of 5 Archive Buildings across Europe will be evaluated through microbiological analysis of environmental samples (air and surfaces) from several rooms and specific archival documents. Microbial cultivation and high-throughput sequencing strategies will be combined to identify the present microorganisms, including pathogenic ones.

Exploitation of environmental microbiota and its genetic resources for the development of innovative and sustainable biosorption solutions of rare earth elements (REEs) (SAS-MOST Joint Research Projects Slovakia – Taiwan, No.: SAS-NSTC-JRP-2024-06, EMERGE, 2025-2027). The microbial communities in several polluted environments contaminated with heavy metals were analysed. Microorganisms were also isolated and tested for their REEs sorption abilities. This project complements the submitted project because the engineered microbial REE-specific binding peptides will be functionalized onto phages and biomass-derived matrices.

Feasibility study for the microbiological degradation of poly- and perfluoroalkyl (PFAS), (No.: APVV-23-0382; 2024-2027). In this project, we have already isolated (from soil and wastewater samples) and enzymatically characterized various microorganisms that potentially could degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The combination of microbiological (cultivation and selection of microorganisms), molecular (high-throughput sequencing), chemical (ICP-MS, IC, LC-HRMS, and NMR), and computational analysis will increase knowledge of PFAS biodegradation mechanisms.

Long-term strategic research and development focused on the occurrence of Lynch syndrome in the Slovak population and the possibility of preventing tumors associated with this syndrome (PreveLynch, European Regional Development Fund, No.: ITMS 313011V578, 2019-2023). This project evaluated the comparison of microbiome diversity among patients with colorectal cancer, Lynch syndrome, and healthy individuals.

Water/Wastewater epidemiology: development of robust and reliable molecular detection systems for surveillance of disease outbreaks (SAS-MOST Joint Research Projects Slovakia – Taiwan, No.: MOST 108-2221-E-006-160-MY3, PathogenTracker, 2020-2023). The project successfully developed several molecular methods to detect potential pandemic pathogens. Several high-throughput sequencing approaches (based on MinION and Illumina HiSeq) were developed to identify the Microbiome, Resistome, Mobilome, and Virulome in wastewater treatment plants and sewage.
