Karlovsky lab closed
You find archived content here: photos of our team over 20 years; a list of lab members; our publications (some are still coming); and Petr's farewell paper with a dedication in the Acknowledgment. Our research on mycotoxins is continued by Dr. Mohammad Alhussein in the lab. of Prof. Michael Rostás. Mohammad also continues our Fungal Toxins course, to which Petr still contributes.

About our research
We studied biological functions of secondary metabolites, mycotoxins and their detoxificatiton, and selected topics related to soil microbiomes and fungal chemical ecology. Most of our work was published under open access. The laboratory closed with Petr's retirement in Oct. 2021.
