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.

With its focus on RNA modifications and the opening of new perspectives for therapeutic manipulations in mammalian systems, ‘The epitranscriptome’ is the most established conference series on this topic. For Sarah, this is a great opportunity to present the state of research in the Höbartner working group and to learn about the latest findings in this field of science.
