Biography

Jana Lavická, née Křenková, graduated from the University of Pardubice, Pardubice, Czech Republic (MSc in Analysis of Biological Materials (2003) and PhD in Analytical Chemistry (2007)) and then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Molecular Foundry, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA (2007-2010). She returned to the Department of Bioanalytical Instrumentation, Institute of Analytical Chemistry of the CAS as a Marie Curie Fellow under the SoMoPro project. Jana was awarded by Otto Wichterle Award (2011) and Josef Hlavka Award (2012). She was a member of the Council of the Institute of Analytical Chemistry (2017-2022) and a member of the organizing committee of the International Interdisciplinary Meeting on Bioanalysis CECE 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2023 (Brno, Czech Republic), the International Interdisciplinary Conference of Chemical Analysis APCE-CECE-ITP-IUPAC 2022 (Siem Reap, Cambodia), and the MSB 2024 symposium (Brno, Czech Republic). She is a supervisor of bachelor, master and doctoral students (Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic). In July 2024, she was promoted to Head of the Department of Fluid Phase Separations.
Her research focuses on instrumentation development mainly for the coupling of capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry, the design and application of new (fluorescent) labels for glycosylation analysis, and the application of nanomaterials for solid-phase extractions in bioanalysis. Jana has been a PI or co-PI of ten national (Czech Science Foundation) and international (EU, MEYS) research project including the international V4+Korea project. She serves as a reviewer of several scientific journals in the field of analytical chemistry.
