Structural virologist Pavel Plevka has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Czech Infrastructure for Integrative Structural Biology (CIISB). He succeeds structural biologist Vladimir Sklenar, who has been advocating, together with Jaroslav Koca, for establishing shared infrastructures since 2010, following the example of Western European countries. Today, CIISB is one of the leading Czech shared laboratories operated by CEITEC (Central European Institute of Technology) and BIOCEV (Biotechnology and Biomedical Centre of the Academy of Sciences and Charles University in Vestec).
