The new year brings exciting developments: several new research projects are launching in our group, and ongoing projects continue successfully. A special highlight is the GDCh Biochemistry 2026 conference "From chemical structures to biological functions", which we will host from March 16-18, 2026 in Würzburg. We cordially invite you to be part of this international scientific exchange!

Dr Martin Volek was awarded the Czech prize ‘Česká hlava’ (‘Czech Brain’) in the ‘Doctorandus’ category in the field of natural sciences. The award ceremony took place during a gala broadcast on Czech public television.

Special attention for Martin Volek's research on in vitro selection at the RNA Club meeting 2025 Prague on 31 October, thanks in part to his ‘messages’ from Bavaria.
