“The Aquarelle of Motion” by our PhD student Vera Getmanchuk-Zaporoshchenko (@imgprague) has won the Prague @EuroBioImaging Node Picture of the Month. Congrats Vera! imcf.natur.cuni.cz/IMCF/picture...
Happy to be part of this story: Jan Famera and Lea M. Skultéty from Gymnázium Karla Čapka in Dobříš advanced to the next round of Students’ Professional Activities, Czech national high-school research competition, with work on muscular dystrophy performed in our lab. Huge congratulations!
Our paper on the anti-cancer effects of the first-in-class plectin inhibitor plecstatin is out in @MolOncology! Great work by @OutlaZuzana & @Kosla_Jan. Collaborations with @Selma_OsMyers (@MedUniWien), Sam Meier (@univienna) & Lukas Frick (@UZH). Check at pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41467448/
Great @imgprague seminar by our PhD student Srikant Ojha @sojha148 on hepatic stellate cell #mechanosignaling and its potential for new therapeutic approaches in liver #fibrosis. Lab of Integrative Biology @Gregor_lab is leveling up 🚀
It’s been an eventful year for all of us! Our Christmas party was a great reminder of the team spirit behind the science & we’re excited to take on the challenges of 2026. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the Laboratory of Integrative Biology!
@Gregor_lab #labretreat 2026: two days of exploring new angles of our projects, hiking, enjoying great food, and sharing lots of laughter in the beautiful scenery of Český ráj. Thanks to Vera, Káča, and Černá Louže for making it happen this year!
