I graduated in Molecular and Cell Biology at Palacký University in Olomouc in 2023, where I became very interested in proteins and their functions, signaling pathways, and cells in general. After finishing my Masters, I moved to Prague to continue as a PhD student at the Faculty of Science, Charles University. I have joined Cyril Barinka’s lab at the Institute of Biotechnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Here, my work will focus on characterization of the substrate specificity of tubulin tyrosine-like ligase 11 (TTLL-11), the major cellular polyglutamylase.
