My team works on the development of an effective HIV-1 vaccine. Our basic research deciphers what constitutes protective killer T cells against HIV-1. To tackle the extreme HIV-1 variability, our working hypothesis is to attack functionally conserved protein regions with limited escape and high commonality among global HIV-1 variants: We target HIV’s Achilles heel. In addition to a preclinical vaccine development programme, we focus mainly on human data to inform iterative design improvements of the vaccine immunogens and delivery. Our current candidate vaccines are tested alone and in combination with other cutting-edge tools for HIV-1 cure and prevention in a series of Experimental Medicine trials on five continents, including Africa, where my partners and I enhance research capacity and infrastructure.

I work at the Department of Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen, Charles University, Czech Republic. My research expertise is in the field of anatomy, histology and embryology. More specifically, I deal with quantitative description of microscopic structure of tissues and organs, especially 1) blood vessels in humans and in experimental surgical models (atherosclerosis, abdominal aortic aneurysm, etc.), 2) tissue healing supported by bioengineered scaffolds, 3) experiments investigating the relationship between microscopic structure and biomechanical properties of tissues and organs, and 4) mapping of normal microscopic structures and tumor microenvironments in human and large animal models on a macroscopic scale.
