Our group


Prof. David Friedecký (Head of the group)

[email protected], +420 588 446 510

David is the head of the group. His research focus covers metabolomics, lipidomics, and other fields of mass spectrometry in clinical research. In the routine diagnostic lab, he is responsible for LC-MS methods – newborn screening, therapeutic drug monitoring, and methods for diagnosing inborn errors of metabolism (IEM).


Radana Brumarová, Ph.D.

Radana is interested in metabolic disorders, biochemical pathways, and metabolomics. She focuses on biochemical interpretation and evaluation for understanding changes in metabolic pathways.


Eliška Ivanovová, Ph.D.

[email protected]

Eliška focuses on targeted multicomponent LC-MS analysis for diagnosis of IEM. Her objective is to develop a screening method with application in clinical practice.


Dana Dobešová, MSc. (Ph.D. student)

[email protected]

Dana is interested in LC-MS-based quantitative targeted metabolomics. As a biochemist, she studies purine metabolism using metabolomic and mass spectrometry methods.


Jakub Rozhon, MSc. (Ph.D. student)

[email protected]

Jakub focuses on targeted and untargeted lipidomics. He is responsible for lipidomic data processing, biological interpretation, and statistical evaluation of retrieved data.


Martina Kadláčková, MSc. (Ph.D. student)

[email protected]

Martina is focused on the development of fast and high-throughput methods for the diagnosis of atypical myopathy in horses and lipidomics analysis in cardiovascular disease.


Martina Horejšová, MSc. (Ph.D. student)
