Dr. Lukas Gorecki graduated from Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove. He continued as postgraduate student at the Department of Toxicology and Military pharmacy, Faculty of Military Health Sciences, University of Defense, where he was dealing with design and synthesis of cholinesterases modulators. Throughout his Ph.D. studies it included various fields of these enzymes that were inspected. However, his main topic is introduction of novel acetylcholinesterase reactivators as antidotes against organophosphorous compounds, such as Nerve Agents that are considered the most toxic chemical weapons of mass destruction. This was also the subject of his internship at UCSD. Currently, he is employed as postdoc at Biomedical Research Center, University Hospital Hradec Kralove, where he continues with search for novel antidotes against Nerve Agents. Besides, he is now fulltime involved as young researcher in design and synthesis of novel ATR selective inhibitors as modern and very perspective anticancer treatment.
