Caisova Lab

🚀Join our research group! 🧪 We are looking for a Postdoc and a PhD student to join our newly established Plant Terrestrialization Lab at @BiologyCentre CAS. If you are curious about #PlantEvolution and the alga #Draparnaldia, get in touch with us!

Draparnaldia had a strong presence at the 21st Phycology Conference in Göttingen! 🌿In her talk, Lenka Caisova presented the potential of Draparnaldia as a new model, while Claudia Ribeiro introduced the biology of the alga through her poster. Big thank you to the organizers! 🔬

Last week, Lenka gave an exciting talk at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf 🎓 on our research into plant terrestrialization 🌱 and the evolution of multicellularity 🧬! Honored to present Draparnaldia as a new model system 🔬Big thanks to Guido Grossmann for making it happen!

New year, new exciting achievements for our group! 🌟🌟 Draparnaldia was named "Alga of the Year 2025" by the German Society for Plant Scientists!🎉 A big distinction that will bring Drapa's potential to the public attention! Check it out👇 dbg-phykologie.de/alge-des-jahre…

🚨New Preprint alert! The #Draparnaldia genome: alternative mechanisms for multicellularity and terrestrialization in green plants is now available on @biorxiv_plants ! Check it out and learn more about #Draparnaldia and #PlantEvolution 🌿🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It is official: Two positions (Postdoc and Technician) available in my lab. Please Retweet and spread the word! For details visit: Postdoc: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/173836 Technician: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/174177

Lab Update - a new clean bench has been installed!

Genetic network analyses in #MyMesotaenium SAG 12.97 reveal ancient stress survival tactics dating back 600 million years! 🌱🧬nature.com/articles/s4147… A great journey with @armin_dadras and @Jan_de_Vries and many other amazing people! @NaturePlants @ERC_Research @watertoland

I am starting my lab in April 2024 at @BiologyCentre CAS in Ceske Budejovice and I will soon start hiring my team (2 master students, a technician, and a Postdoc). If you are excited to learn more about #plantterrestrialization and Draparnaldia #Drapa get in touch with me.
