Biography

I am a young post-doctorate student in the field of preventive medicine and epidemiology at the 3rd Faculty of Medicine of Charles University in Prague focusing on the topic of a plant-based diet in children and adolescents. I also work as a physician at the Paediatric Department of the University Hospital Královské Vinohrady and the 3rd Faculty of Medicine of Charles University in Prague. I am a member of VESNA - Academic Network for the study of Vegan Diets. I actively lecture at Czech conferences and I am the author of several publications in Czech medical journals focusing on the problem of a plant-based diet in children and adolescents. I am a co-investigator of the AZV grant since 2021. I can speak fluently two languages, English and French. During my studies in general medicine, I participated in the clinical Erasmus in Toulouse.
