Department of Molecular Biology
Who are we?
The DMB provides training of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral students in a broad spectrum of molecular biology. It tries to conduct the highest quality research on the molecular mechanisms of eukaryotic cells.
What do we do and for whom?
The DMB is dedicated to preparing students for a career as a molecular biologist, both in applied and basic research in medicine and biology, as well as with a focus on molecular diagnostics.
It is currently made up of 13 separate laboratories (Bruce lab, Doležel lab, Doležal lab, Jindra lab, Kotsyfakis lab, Krejčí lab, Lazar lab, Lukeš lab, Masako lab, Oborník lab, Šauman lab, Sobotka lab a Zíková lab) mainly located in České Budějovice., but also in Třeboň (Sobotka lab) and Nové Hrady (Lazar lab). The focus of each laboratory is on a specialized area in an extremely wide range of contemporary molecular biology. The common denominator of most of the laboratories of our department is work on model organisms, because it is through them that our cognition of the complexity of unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes is so dynamic.
Another common denominator is the demanding requirements for students of all levels, as it concerns team work, costly research, which aims to produce "cutting-edge" science. In a number of laboratories, English is used for communication.
Why do we exist?
The goal is to train senior researchers at the international level from the best students. All members of the department have extensive international experience and lead research teams. A common feature of master's and doctoral projects is the conducted functional analysis of genes in different model organisms.
What are our aims?
There is no big secret that the most important and most dynamic field of modern biology is molecular biology. The goal of our department is to be a leader in the field, by which we do not mean the Czech Republic, but on the international scale. For this reason, we have students and scholars from around the world in our laboratories. We believe that there will be motivated students from all levels from the USB Faculty of Science, who will always have (and a difficult, but very fun and exciting) an interest in participating. Our long-term goal is to create the best possible conditions for them.
