The Biology department is once again organizing the Annual PhD Conference in Biomedical Sciences, which will take place on the 5th - 6th of November 2025 at the University Campus in Brno.
More than 60 PhD students from various departments of the Faculty of Medicine, CEITEC MU, and FNUSA-ICRC will present the progress and results of their doctoral research in the field of biomedicine.
The Annual PhD Conference in Biomedical Sciences brings together PhD students from diverse fields, offering them the opportunity to present their research to a broad audience and to foster open discussions among participants.
The conference unites students from all three specializations under the motto “More people, more science & more fun!”. All students take an active role in shaping the event, encouraging the exchange of ideas, and promoting communication across departments.
This year, the entire conference will take place in the CEITEC MU Atrium. The event starts on November 5, with registration open from 08:00 to 08:30.
The conference will run for two days. In total, eleven students will give talks as part of their doctoral state exams, four students will present their progress reports, and thirty-two students will showcase their work during two poster sessions, providing an excellent environment for networking.
Please see the detailed conference program and the book of abstracts for more information.
We believe that the PhD Conference will create an inspiring and collaborative atmosphere for all participants.
Prof. Ondřej Slabý, Head of the Department of Biology at the Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University, has received the Academician of the Year 2026 award, which he has also been awarded in the past. This prestigious prize is presented annually by students of the Faculty of Medicine to teachers who have impressed them the most through their approach to teaching, expertise, and support of students during their studies.
In January, the newly established International Scientific Advisory Board of the Department of Biology held its first online meeting. Composed of five renowned international scientists, this advisory body will play a key role in the regular evaluation of the department and its research teams, helping to maintain the highest standards of scientific excellence.
