29 Ph.D. Study Programs 29 interactions based on detailed knowledge of anatomy and biochemistry. The main theoretical aims are formulations of generally valid rules both on a cellular and organic level, and on a human level. Biophysical and engineering methodological approach to task solution is supported by high-level knowledge of biological character. The research takes place at various distinctive levels, from microbiomechanics (cellular level) to living macro systems (e.g. biomechanics of humans). It is possible to come across biomechanics applications in a wide range of sciences and professional activities. Biomechanics in this form could be used not only in the area of basic research but also in a wide range of professional activities such as rehabilitation medicine, ergonomics, forensic and biomedicine engineering, sport etc. The training department of Charles University and Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic enable interdisciplinary education in doctoral studies in large scale and in the direction of a particular application.
