Miloš Musil from the Department of Information Systems at FIT created a new web application that helps scientists with ancestral reconstruction. He developed the unique tool in collaboration with scientists from the International Clinical Research Centre of St. Anne's University Hospital and researchers from the Loschmidt Laboratories at Masaryk University. There, they use the application to study molecular evolution and search for ancient proteins that no longer exist today. These can help, for example, in pharmacology, medicine or biotechnology. 

Early detection of a cyber-attack on Internet of Things (IoT) networks can literally save you from unforeseeable consequences, be they an invasion of your privacy or disruption of the energy grid. Autonomous devices cannot be protected by antivirus programs, so another solution is needed. Researchers from the Faculty of Information Technology at Brno University of Technology teamed up with experts from Flowmon Networks and partners from South Korea to develop tools that enable IoT monitoring and diagnostics.
