On Monday, June 16th, the President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, appointed new university professors. We are very pleased to announce that among them is a representative of the RECETOX center at Masaryk University, who is a recognized expert in his field. The highest academic title was awarded to Hynek Pikhart, who leads the Environmental Epidemiology research group at the RECETOX center.
Tadeáš Dvořák first studied psychology at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, where he examined the influence of the city and its factors on human thinking. He did not abandon the research topic but decided to expand it with a biological basis – he was interested in what exactly happens in the body during these processes. In the interview, he explains what urban stress research entails, how it can be objectively measured, and why such research is important for our health.
