The annual XXI. Meeting of Biochemists and Molecular Biologists took place on 15-16th November 2022 in Brno for the first time after the Covid-19 outbreak. The participation of our laboratory members was notable, as altogether 6 members were present, including the head of our laboratory, Ondřej Vaněk, who was invited as a speaker and gave […]
A student of our laboratory has been accepted to attend the Joint Instruct-iNEXT Course: Integrating Structural Biology Techniques Training! This course introduced students to the fundamental concepts of techniques crucial to the field of Structural Biochemistry such as Macromolecular Crystallography (MX), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Magnetic Resonance Mass Spectrometry (MRMS), and single-particle analysis cryo-Electron Microscopy […]
From the atom to NK cell: the story of an unexpected protein structure is the name of an article featured on the front page of the Faculty of Science describing our path to a new publication in the prestigious journal Nature Communications. The article describes the journey from the very beginning, tells about the obstacles […]
Congratulations to the team of researchers from our laboratory! The research directed by a team from our laboratory consisting of Jan Bláha, Barbora Kalousková, Ondřej Skořepa, Denis Cmunt, Samuel Pažický, Edita Poláchová, Celeste Abreu & Ondřej Vaněk has lead to a new publication in Nature Communications. The new publication is success possible only thanks to the efficient collaboration with several other research teams:– […]
A master’s student of our laboratory, Kristýna Pazderová, has been accepted to present a poster at the Instruct Biennial Structural Biology Conference (IBSBC), titled “Changes in structural biology: challenges in studying dynamics”. The conference was held in Utrecht, the Netherlands, on 18 – 20 May 2022 and hosted the leading scientists from across the world. […]
Three laboratory members have been accepted to present their work at the COST Action INNOGLY annual meeting 2022. The leader of our team Ondřej Vaněk, accompanied by Ondřej Skořepa and Matouš Tulpa, presented their posters about glycosylated receptors found on NK cells and the effect of the glycosylation upon binding with their ligands. COST Action […]
Yet another success for the Laboratory of Structural Biochemistry of Immune Recognition! A doctorate student, MSc. Barbora Kalousková, has defended her doctoral thesis named “Harnessing soluble forms of NK cell receptors and their ligands for cancer immunotherapy” in January 2022. Her first-author publication “Tumor Marker B7-H6 Bound to the Coiled Coil Peptide-Polymer Conjugate Enables Targeted […]
