Two Awards for Lada Fialová in Just Two Days

The 14th Annual Conference of the Czech Society for Mass Spectrometry took place at the University of Hradec Králové on November 4–6, 2026, with representatives from the Department of Analytical Chemistry at UCT Prague among the participants.

Hana Kučerová and Lada Fialová delivered flash talks and, together with Adam Neuman, presented their research in the form of posters. Lada Fialová won second place in the poster competition for her contribution entitled High-throughput singlet oxygen labeling for protein footprinting in structural mass spectrometry. Jana Knytlová also participated in the conference, giving a presentation entitled Toward Improved Efficiency of the HESI Ion Source and Beyond.

The very next day, Lada Fialová continued her success at the International Doctoral Conference on Advances in Chemistry (IDCAC 2026) at UCT Prague, where she received the Best Presentation Award in the Biochemistry section.

We warmly congratulate Lada on both achievements! We would also like to acknowledge all members of the Molecular Mass Spectrometry research group at UCT Prague and the Laboratory of Structural Biology and Cell Signaling at BIOCEV, especially her supervisor, Associate Professor Michael Volný.

We wish all participants continued success in their research!
