Loschmidt Laboratories, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University

Overview Loschmidt Laboratories is a research group based at the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University in Brno, which has been established in 1994. RESEARCH FOCUS The research group focuses on protein and metabolic engineering for biomedicine. The group develops new theoretical concepts, software tools and lab-on-chip technologies for protein engineering. It uses these newly developed tools for the design of proteins with improved properties for biocatalysis, biodegradation, biosensing, cell culturing and differentiation. The group has published more than 180 original articles, 19 book chapters and filed 7 international patents and founded the biotechnology spin-off Enantis Ltd. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES Computational design and engineering of hyperstable proteins. Establishing new theoretical concepts for proteins engineering. Development of user-friendly software tools and microfluidic chips.
