Zuzana decided in the first year of university studies (University of South Bohemia – USB) to perform her bachelor and then her master thesis in the Laboratory of Parasitic Therapy (BC CAS). There, she focused her research on the gut protist Blastocystis which role in human health is still unclear. During her undergraduate studies, she received two grants from the Student Grant Agency of USB, which she successfully defended. The first project associated with the bachelor topic was focused on in vitro axenization of Blastocystis and in the second project (in the master study) on the epidemiological study with emphasis on the occurrence of Blastocystis in gut-healthy human population in the Czech Republic. Zuzana also participated in other Blastocystis laboratory projects. She is currently a PhD student and is still involved in Blastocystis research (functional changes in genome during host colonization). Projects & internship Supplementary education: Brief Profile
