Petra Bořilová Linhartová, PhD
PI - Environmental genomics

Petra Bořilová Linhartová is an associate professor at the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University (MU), acting as a Head of the Environmental Genomics Research Group as well as a Head of the Microbiome Laboratories, RECETOX Research Infrastructure. She is a molecular geneticist and her research focuses on the study of the etiopathogenesis of human diseases, addressing genetic predispositions to complex diseases, the relationship between the host and its microbiota in health and disease (immunogenetics, oncogenetics, microbiome), and interactions between genome and exposure (pharmacogenetics, epigenetics). So far, she has dealt mostly with diseases of the orofacial area, gastrointestinal tract, and immune system. Her multidisciplinary research is conducted in cooperation with partners from the academic community, university hospitals, as well as the commercial sphere, focusing mainly on the implementation of the outputs into clinical practice in accordance with the concept of personalized medicine.

Her publication portfolio includes 45 WoS articles, the vast majority (more than 90%) of which are published in journals indexed above the median of the field; her current h-index is 13. She is the principal investigator of 4 national projects and the task leader in the ongoing HORIZON project „Discovering the causes of three poorly understood cancers in Europe“. She currently leads 5 students in doctoral studies; in 2021, one PhD thesis was successfully defended under her supervision. In 2020, she received the MU Chancellor’s Award for Outstanding Research Results Achieved by Young Scientists under 35. In 2020-2021, she also acted as the Vice-Dean for Research and Doctoral Studies at the Faculty of Pharmacy MU.

Mgr. Kateřina Vyklická

PhD student

Katka is a PhD student in the field Environmental Health Sciences at Faculty of Science MU. She is a memmber of the Environmental Genomics research group and has a longterm intership at RECETOX RI. Her PhD thesis focuses on the study of molecular aspects in patients with inhalation injury, especially microbiome and miRNA analyses. She graduated in Biochemistry at the Faculty of Science MU; during her previous studies she focused on the study of metabolome using NMR method in heterothermic animals, specifically bats. During this study she also completed field research in Russia.

Mgr. Natálie Mlčůchová

PhD student

Naty graduated at MU, Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and Master’s degree in Bioanalytical Laboratory Diagnostics in Medicine - Bioanalytic. During her undergraduate studies she focused on Pharmacogenetics in patients using proton pump inhibitors. Now as a PhD student at RECETOX she focuses on the microbiome and pharmacotherapy in patients with gastrointestinal disease. In the Environmental Genomics research group she is also involved in clinical sample processing, genotyping and gene expression.

MDDr. Zuzana Marinčák Vranková, Ph.D.

Researcher

Zuzka is an orthodontist and specialist in the sleep medicine. She is a member of the Environmental Genomics research group and is currently on a work placement at RECETOX RI. Her doctoral research focused on genetic predispositions to orthodontic anomalies, their complications and treatment. She holds a degree in Dentistry from the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University. During her PhD studies, she completed an international internship at the Manzo Clinica Odontoiatrica (MCO) in Frattamaggiore, and also an internship at the Pediatric ENT Department with a specialization in sleep medicine and sleep laboratory at Azienda Ospedaliera Sant' Andrea in Rome, under the supervision of Professor Maria P. Villa.
