Das Viswanath M.Sc., Ph.D.
About me
Viswanath Das is a Principal Investigator and Group Leader at the Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine (IMTM), Palacky University of Olomouc. He earned his Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biosciences from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, and completed postdoctoral training at IMTM. With a focus on CNS disorders, Viswanath explores the mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders to develop targeted therapies. He has published extensively and presented research at national and international conferences. Committed to advancing knowledge, he collaborates with researchers within and outside the university. Viswanath is also dedicated to mentoring the next generation of researchers. Explore ongoing projects in his group under 'Laboratories and Research Groups' for more information.
