About me
Welcome to my webpage! I am a passionate microbiologist with a deep-seated fascination for the hidden world of Antarctic extremophilic bacteria. My primary research focus is on unraveling the untapped biosynthetic potential of these remarkable microorganisms, with a special emphasis on discovering novel antimicrobial compounds that hold the promise of addressing one of our most pressing global health challenges, the antimicrobial resistance.
In addition to my work on antimicrobial compounds, I'm equally intrigued by the rich biodiversity of Antarctic microbiota and their unique adaptations to extreme environments. Exploring these adaptations, I seek to uncover properties with the potential for biomedical and biotechnological applications.

I am thrilled and deeply honoured to receive the Young Blood Award from the Týdeník Euro in collaboration with the most successful entrepreneurs from Czech Republic, marking a significant milestone in my career. Being one of the first recipients of this award in the history of the journal is truly humbling especially for a "hard-core" scientist :)
