Business trip report, Israel, Franěk

Roman Franěk spent his postdoc from August 2022 to July 2024 at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, in Dr. Harel's laboratory. The main focus of the fellowship was working with a new model species - the extremely short-lived turquoise killifish - and studying its unique embryogenesis, which has adapted to an extremely short life cycle in harsh conditions. During the fellowship, I mastered techniques in transgenesis and genome editing. I also joined studies by colleagues in the laboratory, which were published in the Nature Aging and eLife. The fellowship was made possible through the GAČR project Franěk 22-01781O and supported by FFPW USB.
