Veronika Presented at the 15th World Stroke Congress
Veronika Slonkova presented two posters at the 15th World Stroke Congress in Canadian Toronto on October 10-12. More than 3000 people participated and the program was full of interesting lectures covering the whole scale of stroke care: from preclinical research and clinical studies to the most recent guidelines, post-stroke recovery and the use of artificial […]
Czech Little Head Award for Tereza Sustrova
The prestigious Czech Little Head Award 2023 in the category “GENUS – Nature Around Us” was won by Tereza Sustrova, who succeeded in the national round of the Secondary School Professional Activity in June. The talented secondary school student was involved in the research of light-producing enzymes under the supervision of Martin Marek from the Loschmidt […]
Researchers’ Night 2023
Loschmidt Laboratories participated in the European Researchers’ Night 2023 – a large-scale science communication event where scientific institutions opened their doors to the general public. We prepared for our visitors experiments demonstrating how a firefly or brittle star emit light or how even seemingly invisible blood traces can be detected. Visitors tasted different samples from […]
Success in Transfera Technology Day
Twenty-eight technologies in total registered for this year’s Transfera Technology Day which connects Czech science with the business community. Thirteen technologies from ten institutions made it to the finals of the competition, including our luciferase reporter system with an extremely stable bioluminescent signal developed by Martin Marek’s team. Sincere congratulations!
