Analysis of proteins and peptides by mass spectrometry

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.

Laboratory of Developmental Biology and Genomics

Department of Genetics

Who are we?

The Department guarantees Master's degree programs in experimental biology (specialization in genetics and genetic engineering) and the doctoral field molecular and cellular biology and genetics.

The department develops scientific activities in collaboration with the Institute of Plant Molecular Biology BC of the ASCR, the Institute of Entomology BC of the ASCR, the Institute of Parasitology BC of the ASCR, and the South Bohemian University Faculty of Agriculture in the fields of molecular genetics and cytogenetics of plants and animals.

What do we do and for whom?

The department educates and trains bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree students studying genetics or genetic engineering for research activities. On account of their qualifying work, students are directly involved in research, thereby gaining new skills, experience and mastering methods at the highest possible level. The tasks they work on fall mostly within the category of basic research, but in some cases with possible early application potential (e.g. research of plant nucleases and their potential in medicine in the treatment of cancer or the development and modification of transformation methods for transgensis plants).

Why do we exist?

The Department of Genetics (DGN) of the USB Faculty of Science is involved in ensuring the field of study Biology and the field of study Biomedical Laboratory Technology, the bachelor degree program BIOLOGY,the study program Biophysics (focused on the Preparation for the master's study of Biophysics) the bachelor degree program BIOPHYSICS and the field of study Caring for the environment (with a specialization in Management and decision-making in the environment and Monitoring and analysis in the environment) and the bachelor degree program ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Under the master's degree program BIOLOGY, the department guarantees the study field Experimental biology, specializing in genetics and genetic engineering.

The department also guarantees together with the Department of Molecular Biology the study program Molecular and cell biology and genetics of the doctoral program MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY.

The department staff also provide teaching or participate in courses guaranteed by the Department of Molecular Biology. The Department of Genetics coordinates bachelor (dissertation) work focused on molecular genetics and the cytogenetics of plants, animals and humans and on transgensis plants.

What are our aims?

We want to keep the existing diversity of the offer of topics for theses students (evolution of multigene families, the use of genetic markers for solving taxonomic problems of selected arthropods, biology and evolution of the chromosomes of arthropods, organization of the plant genome, molecular diagnostics of plant viruses, viroids and phytoplasmas, antisense RNA in plants, transgenesis plants ) and expand the range of training courses to include some other ones (genetic toxicology, evolutionary genetics of animals), which should be useful for students from other departments.

Specifications

In line with the development objectives of the CR and the EU an increasing share of agricultural land is farmed in various "ecological" modes. The purpose of the grants is to keep farming in the countryside while maintaining and enhancing their ecological functions, especially the protection of biodiversity. Unfortunately, various grant programs too often miss their stated effect - caused by either inappropriate setting of the grant program, the unsuitability of the relevant program for a particular locality or region, or incorrect compliance with grant conditions, albeit rarely. The contribution of the farming regime to the protection of biodiversity is relatively easy to evaluate using the model groups of organisms, especially selected insect orders.

Sample:

Conditions

A quick survey of the situation in the field - ca 2 working days during the growing season. A thorough assessment - ca 1 week, but ideally for several years. Price by agreement.

Specifications

According to the findings of our group industry and mining affected sites can host surprisingly rich communities of insects, including many endangered species from groups such as butterflies, beetles, dragonflies, aculeta and others. Since mining and industry represent some of the most severe areas of human intervention in nature, reclamation after the completion of these activities should help protect biodiversity as much as possible. Our group provides expert services to interested parties from the mining and energy industry including not only inventories of the biological values of their territory, but also variants of practical instructions on how not to decrease their biological value during rehabilitation and reclamation of the sites.

Sample:

Conditions

In-depth surveys require an entire growing season - with six months in advance arrangement. A single exploratory action at any time during May-September. Price according to the extent of the order.
