Welcome to the homepage of the Laboratory of Regulation of Gene Expression at the Institute of Microbiology ASCR in golden Prague at the heart of the Czech Republic.


Our laboratory, established in June 2006, investigates a basic concept of translation and various aspects of its regulation. The studies combine the use of budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammalian cells lines and employ tools of molecular and structural biology, biochemistry and genetics.


Our laboratory is supported by the world-renowned funding bodies such as the Wellcome Trust and Howard Hughes Medical Institute as well as by the prestigious Centre of Excellence grant from the Czech Grant Agency.


Enjoy exploring us!

OPEN POSITIONS!
We seek highly motivated and skillful post-doc and/or Ph.D. student to start working with us in the second half of 2012. If interested, go to $$$ and send your motivation letter as well as CV to Leos @.


NEWS AS OF MARCH 20, 2012
Vanda, Anicka and Tomas have just collected their awards for the best and two second to the best publications published at IM ASCR in 2011 for their PLoS Genetics and NAR papers, respectively. Currently, we have two more papers under review (Tomas's and Pista's PLoS One and Martina's JBC) and two nearly complete studies waiting to be written up and submited to nothing smaller than NSMB (Slavka and Vladka) and Cell (Lucka and Petra). Let see how it goes ;) Susan, Lucka, Anicka and Vanda are working on their thesis to complete their half-done job in obtaining a doctoral degree. In the meantime, Tomas is getting ready to take his doctoral state exam and Petra and Lucka/Lu to complete their Master and Bachelor degrees, respectively. Vladka is excited about her summer 2012 course at the Vanderbilt UNI in Tennessee.

Besides the generous Wellcome Trust support, our group together with 6 other young groups in the Czech Republic received a highly prestigious Centre of Excellence Grant from the Czech Grant Agency.

Martina recently delivered her second baby (a girl this time) and Vanda is expecting her first baby - should arrive on Sept 19, 2012 ;) Lucka is looking for a post-doc preferably in the Land of Oz - fingers crossed! Days are getting longer, sun is getting stronger - Hooray!
