Werner von Siemens Award for Markéta Tesařová

Award for the excellent quality of female scientific work and at the same time the Werner von Siemens Award for third place in the Best Dissertation category went to our colleague Ing. Markéta Tesařová, Ph.D. for the work entitled Quantitative 3D characterization of biological structures using X-ray computed microtomography. The procedures for X-ray computed microtomography, which she designed in its framework, make it possible to carry out 3D quantitative characterization of an unprecedentedly wide range of biological samples. Thanks to these procedures, it has already been possible, for example, to clarify the regenerative abilities of salamanders or to better explain the formation of the face in vertebrates.
