Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry at UK, Prague, in Martin Hof’s group. Currently working as a postdoc at UniCT in the FND lab (in the group of Luca Lanzanò).
pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… 🚨 New paper out!🚨 ✨Thrilled and proud to share our latest paper on Galectin-1, just published! My first paper as a first & co-corresponding author. Check it out! Thank you to all my amazing collaborators for making this work possible.
With a bit of delay, I would like to share a memory of another awesome talk held by Luca Lanzanò at the Weber Symposium. He has spoken about DNA damage and chromatin compaction studied by means of high resolution fluorescence microscopy. Great job! Proud to be part of your group.

It was a great pleasure and honour to be part of the awesome 12th Weber Symposium in Genova. Sadly, today it was the last day. Looking forward to meeting you all again!
We got the the end of the #WeberSymposium2025! But before we had a fantastic session with great list of speakers: Kick off, was a short talk by #FedericaScollo sharing her postdoc work on FCS and Spectral Phasor analysis on LLPS
Amazing talk by Martin Hof, my former boss and super PhD supervisor. Great scientist and wonderful person - the best combination. Super proud of him. @Weber_Symposium

Such a honour to be among the audience for the talk of Elliot Elson. The cherry on the cake of the amazing 12th Weber symposium. @Weber_Symposium

We are about to start at the #WeberSymposium2025 at the beautiful Pallazo dela Borzza #Genoa #Italy
#Didyouknow that blood groups were discovered 124 years ago? In 1901, Karl Landsteiner explained that people have different types of blood cells, that is, there are different blood groups. The discovery led to safe blood transfusions between people with compatible blood groups.
12.03.25 - Ph.D. thesis successfully defended ✅ Grateful to all the people who meaningfully crossed my scientific path and my personal life during these years. Looking forward to the next step. Stay tuned 🚀

🚨 I have an open PhD position in my team to work on simulating glycans and their interactions. If you’re passionate about computational biophysics and glycobiology, go ahead and apply! Any shares would be greatly appreciated. 🙃

🚨🚨🚨 Important! At the request of attendees, we have extended the early bird deadline by one more week to Friday Jan 24th. This will be the final extension, so be sure to register and take advantage! sphingolipidbiology2025.febsevents.org
Congratulations to all authors, Mirek Hekrdla, Niklas Hansen, @DavidRoesel, Soumya Frederick, and Khalilullah Umar from @JHInst_Prague. Big thanks to reviewers and editors from @NatureComms for an exceptionally constructive and thought-provoking review process.
🚨 New paper out! 🚨 Check our latest publication in ACS Applied Nanomaterials on a silicon nanowire sensor for ultra-sensitive pyrene detection (LoD: 2 × 10–4 ppb), crucial for environmental monitoring. @unict_it @JHINST_Prague @BioPhysChemJHI @ACS_ANM pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
