Slavkovský Rastislav Ph.D.

I am a research scientist passionate for molecular and cellular biology, masive parallel sequencing and gene-expresion analysis. I always enjoy datamining of biologicaly relevant data and the comparison of data with already known information. I was involved in different studies such as wound healing characterization, experimental diabetes mellitus, effect of potentially active compounds or radiation on cells in vitro. I was responsible for a developement of a small laboratory for studing microbial biofilm in vitro. With my collegues, we are working on the developement of NGS methods for predicive diagnostics of cancer and methylome profiling. Recently we successfully released fastGEN NGS technology products together with our industrial partners. Currently we are also studying how the somatic mutations in blood cells that are appearing during aging and are connected to different vascular pathologic processeses.
