Last week was big!
Firstly, our newest doctors, Jakub Copko and Lucie Šálková, had their graduation ceremony and received diplomas.
Then, only two days later, our youngest member, Martin Koval’, successfully defended his bachelor's thesis at @VSCHT

Big congrats to them!🎉

This week, our student Klementýna Kepková successfully presented her PhD project at the "25th Interdisciplinary Meeting of Young Scientists " and, with it, won 1st place in the category of Organic Chemistry & Catalysis. Big congratulations!🥂🎉

@IOCBPrague

Our newest article is published!

Thanks to our colleagues you can read more about the BODIPY photocages and their catch-and-release.

Ladies from our group light up the lab every day, and not only with the molecules. Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science to all of you!⚗️🫶 @IOCBPrague

Our newest Ph.D. in the group!

Welcome Ing. Lucie Šálková, Ph.D. who successfully defended her thesis entitled “BODIPY-Based Systems for Releasing of Signalling Molecules and Modulation of Biomolecular Activity” at @VSCHT. Big congrats and more achievements in the future!🎉🫶

Our new paper is out in Angewandte chemie! @angew_chem

We introduce a light-controlled "stick and glue" strategy for selective and stable cystein labeling using BODIPY-based fluorophores.

Big week for our team! 🎉

We welcomed new PhD student Layleen Visisombat from Aix-Marseille University (univ-amu.fr) and celebrated our boss’s birthday — nothing says happiness like a free fish voucher! 🐟

Congratulations to our colleague Eva Bednářová for vining Alfred Bader award for organic chemistry!!!

We cordially congratulate to our Ph.D. student Jakub Copko for winning Otakar Červinka award for the best oral communication at Liblice conference.

Congratulations to Ondřej Groborz for winning 1st Prize in the Sanofi Award in Pharmacy and David Dunlop for securing 2nd Prize in the Jean-Marie Lehn Award in Chemistry, both from @Slanina_Group @IOCBPrague. These awards are part of the Scientific Prizes by the French Embassy in st young scientists from Czech universities and research institutions.

Today, we attended IOCB Prague HR Award beach volleybal tournament in two teams! We won nice second and third place! Many thanks to @IOCBPrague for organizing this nice event.

Finally a representative photo of us! :)

Yesterday, we started a Symposium on Caged Compounds held at IOCB Prague organized by our supervisor Dr. Tomáš Slanina and Prof. Petr Klán. It's an amazing gathering of many important people from the photocages field.

🏅 Congratulations to our student Lucie Wohlrábová for winning the student award for best oral communication in the section organic chemistry and catalysis.

23rd Interdisciplinary meeting of young life scientists.

Excited to be part of the Interdisciplinary Meeting of Young Life Scientists! 🌱✨ Networking, knowledge sharing, and innovation in life sciences all in one place! 📌

David Dunlop z @science_charles a ze skupiny Tomáše Slaniny @Slanina_Group v @IOCBPrague obdržel Cenu @ucena_spol pro doktorandy za vysvětlení jedné z neobvyklých vlastností azulenu. Blahopřejeme!
