D123 - on specifying the conditions for the study of citizens from sanctioned countries

Provision of the Dean D 123
on specifying the conditions for the study of citizens from sanctioned countries

on 1. August 2023

Studies at the Faculty of Science are generally governed by Act No. 111/1998 Coll., This Measure specifies the conditions of study for citizens of countries against which national or international sanctions involving technical assistance and intangible technology transfer are applied. According to the European Commission Opinion C(2019/5883) of 5 August 2019, technical assistance includes the provision of education.

Article 1. List of countries whose nationals are covered by this Measure

The list of sanctioned countries is set out in Annex 1 to this Measure. This list shall be drawn up and updated on the basis of the provisions currently in force and shall be reviewed at least once a year.

Article 2. Enrolment of individual subjects

A student who is a national of a country listed in Annex 1 to this Measure may be de-enrolled in a course identified as at-risk or prevented from enrolling in such a course. In the event of cancellation of enrolment in a course, the student will be notified in writing by a message sent to the school email.

Article 3. Theses assignment

A student who is a national of a country listed in Annex 1 to this Measure may only be assigned a qualifying thesis that is purely basic research and will be published in full immediately after submission for defence. Publication shall be arranged by the study department, unless the student himself/herself has set it when submitting the thesis. The student, the thesis supervisor and any external partner must sign an informed consent to the immediate full publication of the work after submission for defence before the submission of the thesis or dissertation, i.e. the submission of the assignment protocol. In the case of dissertations, the informed consent is signed during the admission procedure and forms part of the documentation for the decision on the outcome of the procedure. The informed consent form is attached as Annex 2 to this Measure.

Article 4. Collaboration on research projects

A student who is a national of a country listed in Annex 1 to this measure may not be part of a research team conducting applied research or basic research for which rapid commercialisation can reasonably be expected.

Article 5. Closing remarks

  1. This measure shall enter into force on the date of its issue.
  2. Theses commissioned before this measure is issued is not affected, but supervisors are requested to apply the measure as far as possible.

Developmental Epigenetics and Bioinformatics Laboratory

Developmental Epigenetics and Bioinformatics Laboratory

The laboratory was founded in 2023. We study unconventional mammalian model species to understand evolutionary history and molecular (especially epigenetic) mechanisms of long-term female fertility at the levels of oocytes, their ovarian niche, and successful embryonic development.

Research

Mammalian oocytes (=female eggs) are established during female embryonic development as a finite pool. They are essential for propagation of the species yet are among the oldest cells in the body – they can be several decades old in long-lived species such as humans. They preserve their quality for extraordinarily long time compared to most other cell types in the body, nevertheless, female fertility is one of the first physiological functions undergoing age-associated decline. This decline is generally associated with decreased quantity and quality of oocytes, affecting the ability to sustain successful embryonic development.
Studies on female fertility and oocyte biology are mostly performed on mouse, a classical mammalian model. However, mice are fertile only for <12 months, and cannot therefore fully recapitulate biological processes in long-lived species that are fertile for several decades. Moreover, increasing number of studies show that mechanism uncovered in mouse do not universally apply across mammals.

 

What we ask:
(1) What are the molecular mechanisms conferring long-term oocyte quality and what can go wrong? How is oocyte quality and quantity affected by their ovarian niche and physiological processing taking place in the ovary (such as ovulations)?
(2) How does the dynamic relationship between host and transposons affect oocyte biology, maternal to zygotic transition, and embryonic development, and does it change during maternal aging?


What we do:
We employ various sequencing (genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics) and imaging approaches to study oocytes, ovaries and embryos of multiple short-lived and long-lived rodent species from different phylogenetic groups – especially naked mole-rat, giant mole-rat, guinea pig, coruro, blind mole rat and mouse.
