🖤 Last Thursday, IOCB Prague said goodbye to Pavel Jungwirth...

👋 This year’s Summer Student Program is now in full swing, welcoming Master’s students from universities across Europe! #UOCHB #IOCB #IOCBPrague #czechscience #chemistry #biochemistry #outreach #summerstudentprogram

💎 Fluorescent #nanodiamonds are promising tools for #bioimaging & #quantumsensing, but their performance depends on details difficult to control – especially particle shape, size distribution, and the amount of non-diamond carbon on the surface... 🧵 #IOCBPragu #bioimag #nanotech #materialchem

🩶 Radio Prague International paid tribute to the life and work of Pavel Jungwirth. Jan Konvalinka, director of IOCB Prague, recalled his exceptional ability to inspire others ► english.radio.cz/remembering-... #UOCHB #IOCB #IOCBPrague #AVCR #AkademievedCR

Zdrtila nás zpráva o smrti prof. Pavla Jungwirtha z @iocbprague.bsky.social. Pavel byl nejen jedním z nejvýznamnějších a nejvýraznějších českých vědců současnosti, ale také stál u zrodu Pamětního grantu Martiny Roeselové, který do dneška podpořil 70 začínajících vědkyň a vědců-rodičů.

IOCB Prague is deeply saddened to announce that on Thursday 23 July 2026, our outstanding colleague, teacher, mentor and friend, Prof. Pavel Jungwirth, tragically passed away. May his memory be a blessing.

🗣️ We are looking forward to hosting Prof. Véronique Gouverneur @gouverneurgroup.bsky.social ( @ox.ac.uk, UK) with an invited lecture "Fluorochemicals – The future we want" on 29 September. Learn more at ► www.uochb.cz/en/event-cal... ⤵ #praguelectures #iocb #iocbprague

Václav Verner from #IOCBPrague recently appeared as a guest on a podcast hosted by the Czech Ministry of Education. A gold medalist at #IChO, he spoke with Minister Plaga about the importance of supporting academic competitions and encouragement of young students. #outreach #chemistry #education

Our newest paper on fast single-round selection of hyper-modified aptamers from over-represented dually nucleobase-modified DNA libraries has been published in @natcomms.nature.com. @iocbprague.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s414...

🧫 The Vondrášek Group is seeking a postdoctoral researcher fully focused on artificial intelligence in the life sciences. #openposition #iocbprague #iocb #compchem

🏅 The Czech team is bringing home four medals from the 58th #IChO: one gold, two silver and one bronze! All four Czech representatives succeeded in a field of more than 350 students from 92 countries, despite taking part in #IChO for the very first time. 🧵

Deadline in less than two weeks!

🕹️ A game with a scientific twist? Prague has one. Mission Retrovirus is a new outdoor game in Dejvice inspired by Czech antiviral research and the legacy of Antonín Holý. Play outdoors or online. Good news: from September, the game will also be available in English. www.uochb.cz/cs/novinky/8...

Nová outdoorová hra představuje český výzkum antivirotik

Pátrání po zmizelém profesorovi, luštění tajných zpráv i hledání převratného léčiva. Outdoorová hra Mise Retrovirus se odehrává v pražských Dejvicích a přibližuje český výzkum, který stál u zrodu…

🏅 The 58th #InternationalChemistryOlympiad #IChO is taking place through Sunday, with representatives affiliated with #IOCBPrague participating. Václav Verner (right, Jan Konvalinka Group) and Tatiana Nemirovich (left, Pavel Jungwirth Group) from #IOCB are serving as mentors for the Czech team. 🧵

🗣️ It was a great pleasure and an honour to welcome Prof. Phil S. Baran from @cripps Research in La Jolla, California, to IOCB Prague for his invited lecture, “Simplifying Synthesis with Radical Cross-Coupling.”

🫆 #BioorthogonalChemistry enables labeling molecules in biological systems without disrupting their processes. Among its key tools is SPAAC, a “click” reaction used in bioconjugation and live-cell imaging—yet its slow kinetics and limited selectivity complicate labelling of multiple targets. 🧵

👏 Máme obrovskou radost a moc gratulujeme Jakubu Copkovi, našemu stipendistovi pro rok 2025, který získal Cenu Jean-Marie Lehna!

👥 For 4 days, Prague hosted experts in cellular #metabolism, #aging, and #cancer. Researchers gathered at the Prague Metabolism and Signaling Symposium, organized by #IOCBBoston, the U.S. branch of #IOCBPrague. 🧵 #UOCHB #IOCB #czechscience #chemistry #biochemistry #metabolism #praguelectures

What biological question would you ask if feasibility were not the first constraint?
