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).
