Brief Profile

Kristýna has been working at the Laboratory of Parasitic Therapy since her second year at the University of South Bohemia (USB). During her bachelor's studies, she pursued a degree in Biology, and her scientific project (bachelor's thesis) focused on the diagnosis of the opportunistic intestinal protozoan Giardia intestinalis. In her master's studies in Parasitology, she addressed more advanced issues related to G. intestinalis, specifically optimizing diagnostic methods and determining the prevalence of this protozoan in asymptomatic individuals in the Czech Republic. She also received a student grant on this topic from the Student Grant Agency of USB. Currently, Kristýna continues her scientific research as a Ph.D. student in the field of Integrative Biology, where she remains focused on G. intestinalis, this time from a microbial analysis perspective. Her current research includes analyzing the bacteriome of asymptomatic people and their dogs.
