I am a co-founder of assisted reproduction and clinical embryology in the Czech Republic. Since my studies I have been working on embryology and physiology of reproduction, my publications are quite often cited in foreign literature. I wrote the textbooks "Clinical Embryology" and "Clinical Physiology of Human Reproduction" for the education of professionals in assisted reproduction. My main area of activity is quality improvement in reproductive medicine. I am the head of the subdepartment of clinical embryology at the Institute for Postgraduate Studies in Health Care in Prague and a supervisor of graduates and PhD students at the Faculty of Medicine and Science of Masaryk University.
