Interview with Taťána Gazárková on analytical chemistry, untargeted metabolomics, the search for novel bioactive compounds, and her Sanofi Prize for Pharmacy 2026 award.

A study in Nucleic Acids Research shows that short start–stop elements act as highly effective translation gates, helping control protein synthesis even under cellular stress.

Researchers from the Institute of Physiology CAS identified novel blood biomarkers that objectively reveal whether patients with type 2 diabetes take metformin as prescribed.

A unique modular system for surface science, developed at JRC Karlsruhe by Thomas Gouder, is moving to Prague. Discover how it works, why it’s being transferred, and how it will support future research at FZU.

Mineralogist Jakub Plášil uncovers complex crystal structures and discovers new minerals. His research deepens understanding of uranium in nature and earned him a major EMU award.

Researchers from the Czech Academy of Sciences developed a 3D-printed microfluidic reactor enabling faster, greener, and higher-quality synthesis of polymer brushes — the foundation of modern biosensors.

An international team discovered a new light-harvesting system in marine Asgard archaea: rhodopsins with carotenoid antennas that enhance light absorption and ATP generation in ocean environments.

Institute of Microbiology of the CAS enters Biotech Company AffiPro to boost its applied research and to introduce new tools for development of biologicals and biosimilars.

As a child, Tomáš Čermák struggled socially, but now, at 18, he's graduating high school, winning awards, and working with the Czech Academy of Sciences.

From an early age, she was fascinated by the microworld of cells and molecules. But she didn’t just want to observe it – she began to actively transform it.
