Discussion and closing remarks
Professor Robinson's long-standing research interests lie in the biochemistry of mineralised tissues, morphogenesis, morphostasis and pathology, comprising the initiation and growth of mineral phases, interaction with extracellular matrices and their chemical and physical characterisation. Work also includes oral soft connective tissues, salivary rheology and the interaction of oral biofilms with both natural and artificial substrates.
He is lecturer at faculty of natural sciences, Charles University - Prague, vice president of the Czech Bioinformatics Association, Czech scientific representative at ELIXIR Interim Board and national coordinator of the European infrastructure for biological data - ELIXIR. Primary main research interests covers structural bioinformatics, molecular simulations, computational chemistry, biophysics and cheminformatics, with a special focus on proteins, their structures, architectures, interactions, stabilities, processes of their folding/unfolding and evolutional pathways, in which a function emerged and how this was further optimized. Most of the methods used are combinations of molecular modeling, molecular simulations, computational chemistry, bioinformatics analysis and mathematical statistics to establish a robust methodological background suitable to provide solution of various structural biology and life science related problems. Jan Prochazka, Czech Centre of Phenogenomics (CCP) & Laboratory of Transgenic models of diseases, Institute of Molecular Genetics, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague. He is currently the head of CCP’s phenotyping Module and Bioimaging and Embryology Unit, and is a member of the Executive Board. He is responsible for rhe development and organization of Phenotyping Module and its pipelines. He is an active researcher in the field of craniofacial development and regeneration, and imaging technologies. He was involved in the discoveries of intraepitheliial migration as the major morphogenicmechanism of tooth development, providing new insight into epithelial dynamic. His current research is focussed on systematic phenotyping, developmental biology, tissue regeneration, molecular regulation of enamel mineralization process, and craniofacial development and organ morphogenesis
