Heme-Containing Sensor Proteins The Group of M. Martinkova

Markéta again met with His Excellency, Ambassador of Japan, Mr. Hideo Suzuki, on the occasion of Japan’s National Day to promote the Japan – Czech Republic cooperation at science and education.

Our paper in Biological Chemistry was published and short info was published on university webpage:

Heme, heme, is oxygen here?

During December 4 to 6 Markéta attended meeting with other TARGET members at Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands (Václav and Petr were joined online).

First lab meeting in the new academic year 2022/2023 was held on Friday 4th of November, 2022

Marketa presented an invited plenary lecture titled “The structure and function relationships of heme-containing oxygen sensors” at XXIth International meeting on Oxygen binding and sensing proteins, Rome, Italy – September 6- 9, 2022

Jakub presented a lecture at XXIth International meeting on Oxygen binding and sensing proteins, Rome, Italy – September 6- 9, 2022

Marketa presented an invited plenary lecture titled “Heme, a Molecule of Key Processes Associated with Health and Disease” at 11th Barrande-Vltava French-Czech Chemistry Meeting, Dijon, 28–30 August 2022

We have published a review in the Czech language in a last national chemical journal “Chemické listy” on the heme sensors called in English “The Novel Role of Heme in Health and Diseases – Heme-Containing Sensor Proteins”  (Martínková M.: Chem. Listy 116, 163–171 (2022). https://doi.org/10.54779/chl20220163).

From February 1st, 2022, for the next four years, Marketa is appointed the vice-rector of Charles University for students’ affairs. The following picture is from the inauguration ceremony of the new rector of Charles University, prof. Milena Kraličková, which was held on March 3rd at Karolinum.
