The Doctorandus Prize is awarded to young scientists for research in the natural sciences. Martin was awarded for his research into the functions of the protein staphylokinase, which is used to treat stroke.
Česká hlava, together with the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic, is the annual announcer of the eponymous awards - the most prestigious Czech award for science and research that scientists in our country can achieve.
Martin has worked as a researcher in the Protein Engineering team of Loschmidt Laboratories, RECETOX Centre, Faculty of Science, MU, and has also been awarded several times for his research on luminous enzymes.
You can read more about Martin's research on the staphylokinase protein in the interview.

We congratulate Martin very much and wish him many more successes.
Scientist Luděk Sehnal, a successful applicant for several prestigious scholarships for which he and his family traveled the world, is finishing his work in Germany and plans to return to RECETOX. He wishes to pass on his experience and support the development of excellent science in the Czech Republic.
