A Czech PhD usually takes 3-4 years. You will focus on an independent research project, but may also be required to complete an individual study plan set by your supervisor. At the end of your PhD you will normally complete two oral examinations: one on your subject knowledge, the other on your thesis. Most programmes are offered in Czech, but English-language teaching is becoming more common.
We have shown that a specific class of transmembrane proteins, called scramblases, can facilitate not only spontaneous flip-flop of lipids but also a translocation of other amphiphilic molecules across cellular membranes. Read more

T lymphocytes are a terrific weapon of our immune system able to kill non-self, infected or transformed cells. They can be genetically engineered to carry artificial chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), thereby being reprogrammed to recognize and kill tumor cells in a very specific and effective manner. Read more
