Hi everyone! Like all of you, I'm also a passionate scientist, most attracted by the mysteries of biochemistry. I study antimicrobial resistance, search for novel active compounds, and determine their mechanism of action within the cell. This makes me the so-called "enzymologist" of our predominantly microbiological group.
As a person, I'm more of an introvert and a bit melancholic. I've always loved gardening and plants in general (I used to have a collection of over 40 carnivorous plants!). Like most Czechs, I also love walking in forests (and looking for fungi! :D ). I play tennis at an intermediate level and World of Warcraft at a high-intermediate level.
I am at the end of my PhD (at least I hope ;-) ), focusing on melanoma in my research. As I have some food intolerances, I started to be very interested by dietetics and nutrition - and I am starting with a bachelor program in this field in September 2025.
Otherwise, I am a lot into dancing and sporting (climbing, hiking, snowboarding, running, yoga,...), I usually need a lot of physical activity, both indoors and outdoors. I am a scout and I love being in the nature. During my studies (and thanks to Erasmus), I've been living in Bergen (Norway), Rome, and Pisa (both in Italy).
