For Students
Courses Taught
Academic and research staff of the laboratory provide teaching for both Czech and international students in the following courses:
- Biology of Cartilaginous Fish
- Fundamentals of Cell Biology
- Reproductive Biology of Fish
- Fish Reproductive Physiology
- Basics of Scientific Communication
Qualification Theses
Our laboratory offers long-term support for Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D. theses, as well as postdoctoral positions in reproductive physiology. During their studies, students gain hands-on experience with a wide range of laboratory methods, including:
- microscopy (light, video, and high-speed)
- immunocytochemistry and fluorescence microscopy (in particular the observation of ongoing intracellular processes)
- metabolic analyses (e.g., ATP, ADP) and oxidative phosphorylation
- image processing, sperm motility analysis (CASA), and flagellar movement analysis
- assessment of cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), antioxidant enzyme activity, and DNA/RNA integrity
- osmoregulation and cell volume measurements
- artificial fertilization procedures
- gamete cryopreservation
- basics of proteomic and lipidomic analyses
- patch-clamp techniques for studying ion channels and cellular signaling
“We guide students toward precise hypothesis formulation and work with reproducible data.”
