🧬 The 4th Prague Symposium on Cancer Metabolism brought together experts to discuss new insights in tumor metabolism.

We’re proud that two of our PhD students — 🏆 Pavel Jakoubě and 🏆 Mariia Hrysiuk — received a Best Poster Prize (2 of only 3 awarded).

👏 Congratulations!

💚 𝐓𝐰𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲!
Almost 200 students explored our labs 🔬
Maybe some of them will be future scientists — or Nobel Prize winners. 😉

Colleagues explored key drivers of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC):
🔹 tumor heterogeneity
🔹 oncogenic drivers & resistance
🔹 immunosuppressive TME

🚨 New paper out!
We built fiSPR, a platform combining SPR biosensing + light 💡 to study light-responsive proteins.

🔹 Blue light → EL222 dimerization + DNA binding
🔹 UV light → interleukin–receptor interactions
