Professional Experience
1996 – 2023 senior scientist, head of the Department for Analysis of Biologically Active Substances, Institute of Physiology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague
1991 – 1996 research scientist, Institute of Physiology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague
1989 – 1991 junior scientist, Institute of Physiology, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, Prague
1985 – 1989 (CSc.) PhD student, Institute of Physiology, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, Prague
Current situation
Due to the abolition of a functional device on proteomic (not only) work, I left the Institute of Physiology and retired, but I am still continuing in pedagogical and research activities, but no longer at the Institute of Physiology
Specialization
I have a broad spectrum of professional interests: development of new methods for the analysis of a broad spectrum of compounds by capillary electrophoresis and chromatography and their applications to the analysis of the organism's biological (physiological) functions. In practice he uses coupling of capillary electrophoresis and chromatography to mass spectrometry and their application to the study of proteins, peptides and other physiological important compounds; analysis of steroids and their metabolites in organisms, native and modified proteins; physiology and chemistry of connective tissue and their cross-links; study of nonenzymatic posttranslational modification of proteins; analysis of natural pigments.
I am also a member of the Czech Ornithological Society and has a permit for the ringing of birds. He has also a permit from the Central committee for the protection of animals (CZÚ 164/99). He spent several stays abroad, e.g. Dept. Biochemistry, University of Oulu, Finland; Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Thailand; Institute of Forensic Medicine, University of Verona, Italy.
Teaching
I have course “Analysis of Biological Materials” at Department of Biological and Biochemical Sciences, University Pardubice (ended with exam). I had also diploma worker (4) as well as PhD students (3).
I spent some time at Universities abroad: Thailand, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Department of Pharmacology (2001); Italy, University of Verona, Institute of Forensic Medicine (2004 and 2010 as visiting professor); Chemical Department, University of Madeira, Portugal (repeated stays 2002-2005)
Memberships in Professional Societies and Committees
He is member of the Czech Chemical Society (member of board of the Section for Chromatography and Electrophoresis). He was a member of the Organizing Committees of the international symposia: Applications of HPLC and HPCE in the BioSciences (Prague 1995), 2nd International Symposium Separations in the BioSciences SBS 2001 (Prague), MSB2010 (MicroscaleBioseparations) (Prague 2010), 20th International Symposium on Separation Sciences (Prague 2014) and HPLC 2017 - 45th International Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (Prague 2017).
Memberships in Editorial and Advisory Boards
I was an editor of the Journal of Chromatography A, Bibliographic Section. I was a member of the Editorial board of Current Analytical Chemistry, ISRN Analytical Chemistry and Current Chromatography.
