One hundred thirty first-year Ph.D. students in Brno applied for the Ph.D. Talent competition and the best 25 succeeded. Three of them, Daniel Pluskal, Eliška Řehůřková, and Hana Faldynová, are from RECETOX.
Mgr. Daniel Pluskal and Mgr. Eliška Řehůřková study the Ph.D. programme Environment and Health at RECETOX. Daniel is a student of Ing. RNDr. Martin Marek, Ph.D., MBA from Loschmidt Laboratories. Eliška is working under the supervision of RNDr. Iva Sovadinova, Ph.D., and Hana Faldynová study Molecular and Cell Biology and Genetics at the Faculty of Science MU. Hana is a student of Prof. RNDr. Zbyněk Prokop, Ph.D. from Loschmidt Laboratories.
The students had to convince the expert committee of their achievements' excellence and the quality of their proposed scientific projects. The winners will receive scholarships of CZK 330,000 over three years. Thanks to this generous support from the Statutory City of Brno, they can focus intensively on their research.
The Brno Ph.D. talent project is part of the Regional Innovation Strategy, and the JCMM ensures its implementation.
We congratulate the winners and wish them many more successes in their scientific careers.
