Tomáš Slanina graduated in Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University under the supervision of Petr Klán from RECETOX. He ranks among the most prominent representatives of the emerging generation of chemists.
He solves in an original way how to produce, store, and release solar electrical energy. He works at the ÚOCHB AS CR as head of the junior research group and teaches at Charles University.
He has published over forty scientific works in top international journals in photochemistry and physical and organic chemistry. He received the prestigious ERC Starting Grant in 2022 for his research project SOLBATT, which is focused on studying electron energy storage in chemical bonds and developing molecular solar batteries.
Congratulations to Tomas, and we wish him many more successes.

In our daily lives, we are exposed to many chemicals that can have a negative impact on our health. Cars are unique indoor spaces that are often overlooked in terms of their contribution to human exposure to chemicals, and a recent RECETOX study published in Environmental Monitoring and Assessment has found very high levels of flame retardants in Czech vehicles.
The Soil Blitz sampling campaign, organized by the Soil Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology Research Group at RECETOX in September 2024, has already produced results. During the campaign, members of the public in Brno carried out soil health surveys on their properties in the city. Participants were trained to become citizen scientists.
