PhD/MSc - Laboratory of Leukocyte Motility
Excellent Science in Favour of Modern Society
BIOCEV is a joint project of six institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (Institute of Molecular Genetics, Institute of Biotechnology, Institute of Microbiology, Institute of Physiology, Institute of Experimental Medicine, and Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry) and two faculties of Charles University in Prague (Faculty of Science and 1st Faculty of Medicine). The project’s goal is to establish European Centre of Excellence in biomedicine and biotechnology.
In January 2016, the Institute of Biotechnology CAS (IBT) moved to a BIOCEV centre and is involved in two of the five research programmes. IBT wants to take full advantage of this chance to produce cutting-edge scientific results that will be transferred into clinical practice.
BIOCEV builds upon three pillars of the knowledge triangle: teaching and education, research and development, and transfer of research results into practice.
The uniqness of the project lies in well-balanced activities and goals set within the three pillars of the knowledge triangle, in BIOCEV supported by modern infrastructure and novel approaches to conducting research, which are based on the experience of top-quality world research institutes.

PHD/MSC - LABORATORY OF LEUKOCYTE MOTILITY
We study how immune cells navigate their environment, with a focus on mechanosensation and its therapeutic potential. Our work sits at the interface of immunology and cell biology and takes advantage of the latest techniques in microfabrication, microfluidics, microscopy and molecular biology.
We offer:
- Multiple research projects:
- Development of novel fluorescent sensors of GPCR activity.
- Mechanosensitivity of lymphocytes.
- Harnessing the mechanosensitivity of hematopoietic malignancies for therapy.
- BIOCEV's state-of-the-art facilities.
- Fully funded positions supported by GAČR and AZV.
