About me
My area of research was always within the grasp of the metabolomics field. After I studied biochemistry, I have been working at the University Hospital Olomouc and my PhD was focused on medical genetics – especially in the potential application of untargeted metabolomics tools in clinical practice as a diagnostic tool. During my first internship at the University of Barcelona (Barcelona, Spain) I have learnt how to work with cell cultures and various techniques in molecular biology. During my second internship in San Jose (CA, USA) at Thermo Fisher Scientific, I got advanced skills and training in Orbitrap-based mass spectrometers and software. I see the metabolomics great potential as a ‘universal’ diagnostic tool in personalised medicine. In my opinion, the first signs can already be seen e.g. as use of the iKnife or in the improvement in new-born screening across the world. As a part of a great team of the scientists of Phenome Centre Birmingham, I was able to participate in many projects which helped me to get deeper insights in cooperation between academia and commercial subjects (industry). Now I have returned to my alma mater to the Palacký University where I want to continue my research. In future, I would like to focus my efforts on the study of the oxidative stress on the metabolite level. I would like to transfer more of lipidomics research into clinical practice. In my opinion, lipidomics approach has a great diagnostic potential for clinicians and there are still many undiscovered research opportunities.
