About me

Prof. Jiří Drábek, PhD. is the head of the LEM DNA laboratory and the representative for education at the IMTM. He is a forensic genetics expert, external auditor for ISO/IEC 17025, president of the Czechoslovak Society for Forensic Genetics, z.s., and editor of the journal Forensic Science International: Genetics.

He received a Master's degree from Masaryk University in Brno, a PhD and habilitation from Palacký University in Olomouc, and a professorship at Charles University. He is professionally influenced by a PhD internship at Trinity College, Oxford, UK, a postdoctoral fellowship at Ohio University, Athens, USA, and a SEFE course organized by the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.

Dr. Drabek's professional interests include reproducible prognostic/predictive cancer biomarkers and laboratory techniques for genotyping and forensic DNA profiling. He enjoys critical thinking and Bayesian interpretation of results.
