Short bio:

I am currently a Professor at the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Charles University in Prague, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Czech Republic. I graduated MD in 2000 from the 2nd Medical School, Charles University Prague and started my research and diagnostic carrier in Prague (leukemia diagnostics and biology) and continued on a postdoctoral fellowship at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA, USA (immune reconstitution post-BMT). I received PhD from Immunology in 2005. I was awarded "ISAC Scholar" in 2010. I am a vice-president of Czech Society for Analytical Cytometry, former ISAC Council member and ISAC Life Education Task Force member; I am a member of Human Cell Differentiation Molecules council. Throughout my career I have been working with various flow cytometry based techniques (leukemia phenotyping, minimal residual disease monitoring, immune monitoring, immunodeficiency, bead-based affinity proteomics, algorithmic data analysis). I am a founding member of EuroFlow consortium where I am responsible for coordination of the technical aspects, design of flow cytometry procedures and Quality Assesment. I have authored over 100 research publications, delivered 40 invited lectures and lectured numerous educational workshops.
