Marika Majerová from the Loschmidt Laboratories , Department of Experimental Biology & RECETOX, Faculty of Science at Masaryk University, has been awarded the prestigious Martina Roeselová Memorial Fellowship for 2026. This year, the IOCB Tech Endowment Fund recognized 15 young researchers who combine early scientific careers with caring for young children across a wide range of disciplines.
The Martina Roeselová Memorial Fellowship supports students and early-career researchers who balance the start of their scientific careers with caring for a preschool-age child. Its aim is to help cover childcare services and enable young researchers to stay connected with international science. The fellowship was established in 2016 in memory of physical chemist Martina Roeselová and has since supported dozens of promising scientists.
The IOCB Tech Endowment Fund, which administers the fellowship, was founded to support the development of science and to foster the translation of research results into practice. The fund focuses on assisting individual researchers, supporting talent, and promoting science within Czech society.
We warmly congratulate Marika on this achievement!
