Image competition

Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics

Departmental competition for the best photo and picture

There are two categories and the first prize is 3000 CZK in each category:

I. "Scientific Merit" category - captures a major breakthrough in research from the previous year.

II. "Aesthetic Merit" - the photo (image) should be pleasing to the eye and open to all kinds of artistic treatment- people can unleash their inner surrealist.

The competition is under the patronage of prof. Alexander W. Bruce (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). All contestants will be judged by a panel of faculty members from the department with input from likes that contestants receive on our departmental Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/KMBPrFJU

    SCIENTIFIC MERIT PRIZE

    1st place

    GPs: Macrophage-specific delivery tool visualized three ways. Confocal and electron microscopy images of Drosophila macrophages (green) internalizing yeast-derived glucan particles, which represent a suitable macrophage-specific delivery tool.
