Lucka was awarded the Brno Ph.D. talent!

Our doctoral student Mgr. Lucie Curylova was awarded the prestigious three-year scholarship Brno Ph.D. talent 2020. In the competition of 130 Ph.D. students, she succeeded with her project „The p53 family proteins in the regulation of stemness in pediatric sarcomas“, whose goal is to verify the strategy of stemness factors inhibition through p53 reactivation, which might prove a promising treatment of aggressive pediatric sarcomas.

Another of our doctoral student, Mgr. Karolina Borankova, was awarded the Brno Ph.D. Talent Finalist, ranking among the best 35 attendees of the competition. Both Lucie and Karolina conduct their dissertation thesis under the supervision by Dr. Jan Skoda in our laboratory.

Congratulations on your fantastic achievement!
