Doc. RNDr. Jana Novotná, CSc.
participates in the research projects on the pulmonary circulation under chronic hypoxia. She is concerned in biochemical changes of collagen and collagenolytic enzymes in the peripheral lung vessells, and the pulmonary vasculature reconstruction after the chronic lung injury.

Prof. RNDr. Václav Pelouch, CSc. † 2010
studies the biochemical remodelation of the cardiac tissue in various pathophysiological conditions (hypoxia, hypertrophy); particularly, he is concerned in the protein and lipid composition of the myocardium of children with congenital defects and adults with heart diseases.

Mgr. Mirka Rovenská, Ph.D.
At the present time she studies the relationship between redox systems and production of free radicals.
→ publications
MUDr. Alice Skoumalová, Ph.D.
studies the role of free radicals in the pathology of various diseases. Particularly she is interested in oxidative stress in Alzheimer disease and in monitoring of oxidative damage to erythrocytes.

Mgr. Martina Srbová, Ph.D.
maternity leave
(She studies the lipid metabolism by means of gas-liquid chromatography. She is interested in the mechanisms of free radical reactions.)

RNDr. Richard Vytášek, Ph.D.
develops monoclonal antibodies and immuno-assays for the detection of several antigens. Recently he has prepared the monoclonal antibodies against nitrotyrosine that are currently being used in studies of the role of reactive nitrogen species in various pathological states.

Prof. RNDr. Jiří Wilhelm, Ph.D.
is interested in research in the field of free radical biochemistry, particularly in the generation of lipofuscin-like pigments. He also studies the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species formation in phagocytes and he is concerned in the mechanisms of ageing at the molecular level.
