Habilitation Lecture of Stas
We are proud to share that our team leader, Stanislav Mazurenko, has reached a key milestone in his academic career, delivering his habilitation lecture on the application of machine learning to protein engineering. This achievement brings us one step closer to welcoming another Associate Professor to the Loschmidt Laboratories team. Warmest congratulations, Stas, from the […]
9th Joint Workshop of CIIRC & LL
Researchers from CIIRC CTU and Loschmidt Laboratories met in Prague on 1-2 October for the 9th Joint Workshop. The program featured topics ranging from molecular docking, machine learning, and enzyme engineering to molecular simulations, ML-guided directed evolution, and emerging AI tools for scientific software. A great opportunity to exchange ideas, strengthen collaborations, and connect researchers […]
Sergio attended 3rd BioExcel Conference
Our postdoctoral researcher, Sergio Marques, recently attended the 3rd BioExcel Conference on Advances in Biomolecular Simulations in Brno. Sergio presented his poster on how linoleic acid modulates the conformational dynamics of apolipoprotein E4 and inhibits its aggregation. “It was a truly inspiring few days filled with excellent science, great discussions, and practical insights that offer […]
Workshop on Advanced Protein Engineering and Biotherapeutics Development
It was a pleasure to host representatives from MSD Animal Health for a joint half-day workshop! The event featured insightful presentations from MSD experts, led by Leonidas Lundell, on biotherapeutics, protein stabilization, and solubilization. Loschmidt Labs’ researchers introduced their research activities, including computational protein design tools and microfluidic technologies for high-throughput screening. A big thank […]
Celebration of Our New Publication
On Friday, we gathered to celebrate our paper, “Uncovering Functional Distant Mutations by Ultra-High-Throughput Screening of Dehalogenases,” which was recently published in ACS Catalysis! Hana Faldynova, the lead author among 30 co-authors, highlighted in her speech that this was a ten-year project involving many members of the Loschmidt Labs—including former colleagues who have since moved […]
Martin and Michal at 7th EnzymeML Workshop
Together with our postdoctoral researcher, Michal Vasina, our PhD student, Martin Richter, attended the 7th EnzymeML Workshop in Rüdesheim am Rhein, Germany, from September 15 to 18, 2026. Martin presented a talk on resolving enzymatic mechanisms from ligand-binding experimental data using machine learning. Both Michal and Martin appreciated the friendly and collaborative atmosphere of the […]
Research Internship of Nikitas
It was a great pleasure to host and collaborate with Nikitas Georgiou from the Center for Interdisciplinary Biosciences (Kosice, Slovakia). During his two-week research visit at Loschmidt Laboratories, Nikitas focused on protein engineering approaches and the computational investigation of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase—two key therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative disorders. We extend our sincere thanks to COZYME […]
Martin at CCP4-BCA Summer School
Our PhD student Martin Sitte attended the CCP4–BCA Protein Crystallography Summer School in Norwich,UK where he received advanced training in crystallography. “Just wrapped up a fantastic week — intense, challenging, and genuinely fun!” says Martin, who is preparing for a research stay at Yeshiva University, New York, in the Anderson Garbuglio de Oliveira lab.

Hidden Enzymes: Interview with Monika
Our PhD student Monika Rosinska searches metagenomic data for “hidden” enzymes and uses EnzymeMiner to predict their properties with machine learning. By combining computer science with environmental health, she tackles complex challenges in protein analysis and design. Read the full interview to learn more about Monika’s work.
Loschmidt Labs at Science & Technology Festival 2026
Thank you for joining us at the Science & Technology Festival!We enjoyed introducing visitors of all ages to the world of science — their curiosity and enthusiasm made the day special. Together, we explored how to recognize early signs of brain diseases and stroke, tried quick memory tests, checked hand cleanliness with Petri dish prints, […]
