Zdeněk Farka

Zdeněk Farka works as associate professor and head of the Immunoassay and Nanosensor Research Group at the Institute of Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University. In 2017, he received his Doctorate in Structural Biochemistry under the supervision of Petr Skládal at CEITEC, Masaryk University. He has completed internships at the University of Regensburg (Germany) and the University of Rouen (France). Zdeněk’s research group develops highly sensitive immunoassays for the detection and visualisation of clinically and environmentally relevant analytes, using a range of transducers and markers to find the optimal solution to complex bioanalytical problems. Great emphasis is placed on the use of nanomaterials, which make it possible to not only increase the sensitivity of conventional determinations but also develop completely new detection approaches.
