I see interdisciplinarity today as a huge advantage and a necessity, says graduate Janovič

Tomáš Janovič from the National Centre for Biomolecular Research focuses on genome stability and the protection of telomeres, the ends of chromosomes. He has received prestigious grants for his research, including the MSCA Individual Fellowship and GAMU MASH StG/CoG. He is currently looking for PhD students to join his team. “Understanding how a single protein complex can both protect telomeres and allow their elongation could open up new possibilities for targeted cancer treatment,” says Janovič, a graduate of Biomedical Engineering and Bioinformatics.
