Petra Bořilová Linhartová is an associate professor at the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University (MU), acting as a Head of the Environmental Genomics Research Group as well as a Head of the Microbiome Laboratories, RECETOX Research Infrastructure. She is a molecular geneticist and her research focuses on the study of the etiopathogenesis of human diseases, addressing genetic predispositions to complex diseases, the relationship between the host and its microbiota in health and disease (immunogenetics, oncogenetics, microbiome), and interactions between genome and exposure (pharmacogenetics, epigenetics). So far, she has dealt mostly with diseases of the orofacial area, gastrointestinal tract, and immune system. Her multidisciplinary research is conducted in cooperation with partners from the academic community, university hospitals, as well as the commercial sphere, focusing mainly on the implementation of the outputs into clinical practice in accordance with the concept of personalized medicine.
Her publication portfolio includes 45 WoS articles, the vast majority (more than 90%) of which are published in journals indexed above the median of the field; her current h-index is 13. She is the principal investigator of 4 national projects and the task leader in the ongoing HORIZON project „Discovering the causes of three poorly understood cancers in Europe“. She currently leads 5 students in doctoral studies; in 2021, one PhD thesis was successfully defended under her supervision. In 2020, she received the MU Chancellor’s Award for Outstanding Research Results Achieved by Young Scientists under 35. In 2020-2021, she also acted as the Vice-Dean for Research and Doctoral Studies at the Faculty of Pharmacy MU.

PhD student
Inactive employment status
Katka is a PhD student in the field Environmental Health Sciences at Faculty of Science MU. She is a memmber of the Environmental Genomics research group and has a longterm intership at RECETOX RI. Her PhD thesis focuses on the study of molecular aspects in patients with inhalation injury, especially microbiome and miRNA analyses. She graduated in Biochemistry at the Faculty of Science MU; during her previous studies she focused on the study of metabolome using NMR method in heterothermic animals, specifically bats. During this study she also completed field research in Russia.
PhD student
Naty graduated at MU, Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and Master’s degree in Bioanalytical Laboratory Diagnostics in Medicine - Bioanalytic. During her undergraduate studies she focused on Pharmacogenetics in patients using proton pump inhibitors. Now as a PhD student at RECETOX she focuses on the microbiome and pharmacotherapy in patients with gastrointestinal disease. In the Environmental Genomics research group she is also involved in clinical sample processing, genotyping and gene expression.
Researcher
Zuzka is an orthodontist and specialist in the sleep medicine. Her doctoral research focused on genetic predispositions to orthodontic anomalies, their complications and treatment. She holds a degree in Dentistry from the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University. During her PhD studies, she completed an international internship at the Manzo Clinica Odontoiatrica (MCO) in Frattamaggiore, and also an internship at the Pediatric ENT Department with a specialization in sleep medicine and sleep laboratory at Azienda Ospedaliera Sant' Andrea in Rome, under the supervision of Professor Maria P. Villa.
PhD student
David is a PhD student in the field of Dentistry and Otorhinolaryngology at the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University. He is a member of the Environmental Genomics research group and he has an internship at RECETOX RI. In his dissertation, he deals with the study of the molecular etiopathogenesis of apical periodontitis and odontogenic cysts. He holds a degree from both General Medicine and Dentistry from the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University. During his PhD studies, he completed an internship on the department of maxillofacial surgery in Vienna on the Medicinische Universität Wien.
PhD student
Sabina is a PhD student in the field Environmental Health Sciences at RECETOX, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University. She graduated in Analytical Biochemistry from Masaryk University, where she focused on the study of the oral microbiome using various analytical approaches during her studies. Through her master’s thesis, she established collaboration with the Department of Histology and Embryology at the Faculty of Medicine, MU, where she expanded her skills in advanced experimental laboratory techniques. Her doctoral research focuses on: "The role of genetic and environmental factors in the etiopathogenesis of hyperphosphatemia – population and animal studies", working primarily with animal models.
professional editor
Jarek predominantly participates in editing and proofreading of scientific text, mentoring and, generally, in publishing activities of the research group. He received his PhD at RECETOX, where he studied Environmental Chemistry. After returning from the United Kingdom where he lived for quite a few years, he started working as a translator, proofreader and editor of academic texts (predominantly) in the fields of medicine and science. In addition to MU, he also works at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ostrava.
