Lucie Nováková is a Full Professor at the Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Analytical Chemistry, Czech Republic. Her research is focused on separation techniques, in liquid and supercritical phase, and their coupling to mass spectrometry. She is involved in a broad scope of research projects focused on pharmaceutical analysis, doping control, plant analysis, and bioanalytical methods. She extended her scientific experience during the fellowships at world-recognized universities, such as the University of Geneva and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, beyond others. She published over 160 peer-reviewed scientific articles with H-index of 42 and more than 5780 citations, one book, and nine book chapters. She is also widely involved in teaching and education activities, such as HPLC and SFC training courses, seminars, but also conference lectures and organization. Recently, she has become also a Vice-dean for External and International Relationships.
Michal Douša has been working in the pharmaceutical company Zentiva since 2007 as a head of the separation methods department. His research is focused on separation techniques, especially hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and chiral separation. He gained previous work experience at various workplaces in the field of HPLC analysis of water, soil, food, and feed. He is the author of a book on HPLC theory and practice and one book chapter. He published over 65 peer-reviewed scientific articles with more than 803 citations and H-index of 17. He is also involved in teaching and education activities, such as HPLC and validation training courses and seminars.
Petr Česla is an Associate professor of analytical chemistry, Head of the Department of analytical chemistry, and Vice-dean for Research and Creative Activities of the Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice, Czech Republic In his research work, he focuses on the development of separation techniques in liquid phase, mainly liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis, with the special attention to the two-dimensional separations, optimization procedures, data processing, and coupling of LC and CE to mass spectrometry. He has been engaged in many research projects and acts as principal investigator of several projects of Czech Science Foundation. He is author of more than 60 papers in scientific journals with H-index of 18 and more than 1070 citations, co-author of one book and two book chapters.
Jiří Urban received a Ph.D. in 2007 in the group of Pavel Jandera at University of Pardubice, the Czech Republic, where he worked until 2016. During 2009 – 2011, he followed post-doctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, in the František Švec and Jean M. J. Fréchet group. In 2017 he moved to the Department of Chemistry, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, where he became an Associate Professor in 2018. In his research, he utilizes multifunctional polymer monoliths to develop new analytical methods applicable to metabolomics and proteomics. He also focuses on the design of new instrumental setups for two-dimensional liquid chromatography. He published over 51 peer-reviewed scientific articles with more than 1400 citations and H-index of 22.
