Employment
- Since 2025: Associated professor at Department of Genetics and Breeding, FAFNR, CZU in Prague
- Since 2002: Assistant professor Department of Genetics and Breeding, FAFNR, CZU in Prague
Pedagogical activities
I am guarantor of the teaching of study subjects aimed on plant breeding. Simultaneously I participate in the teaching of subjects aimed on general genetics, molecular genetics and cytology. My Bachelor's and Master's students solving themes oriented to the application of molecular DNA analysis of plants and phytopathogenes.
Research activities
I cooperate with leading crop research institutes as a co-investigator of research projects focused on the application of molecular analysis of DNA into the breeding of agriculturally important plant species, conservation of genetic resources and phytopathological diagnostics.
International cooperation
- Workshop organized by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences focused on the molecular detection of important pathogens of potato, as PSTVd, CMS, PVS, etc. 2008. Harbin, PR China.
- Support for incomming students in trainee programs of Erasmus+ (since 2012)
- Support of incomming teachers in mobilty programs Erasmus+ (since 2025)
