Organization changes of CIISB at the Institute of Biotechnology
The CIISB facilities at IBT have been undergoing the following organizational changes.
New CF Head of CEITEC NMR facility
Pavel Kadeřávek became the new head of the Josef Dadok National NMR Centre on 1 July. Pavel has a scientific background in NMR methodology development, study of biomolecule dynamics, characterization of minority states of biomolecules and IDPs. "My task will be to maintain the high standard of the equipment offered and to ensure the satisfaction of our users. I also plan to develop collaborations with scientific groups, for example in the field of in-cell NMR. We are preparing a tender for the purchase of a helium liquefier for more economical operation and are considering the purchase of a 600MHz sample changer to enable serial measurements," says Pavel on his new role.
Radovan Fiala, who has led the facility since its establishment in 2012, remains deputy head to ensure a smooth CF handover and plans to reduce his working time before he goes to a well-deserved retirement. Radovan's role in the functioning of the CF, which reaches European standards, has always been a model for all other CFs that have been established at CEITEC over time.
