Dr. Marek Mraz is interested in the regulation of microenvironmental interactions in CLL and other B cell malignancies, especially B-T cell interactions and B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling. He is a group leader at the CEITEC Masaryk University and at University Hospital Brno (Czech Republic; ceitec.cz/mrazlab). He is best known for his work describing the role of non-coding RNAs (microRNAs) in BCR pathway, p53 pathway, and B-T cell interactions. Dr. Mraz also contributed to the understanding of CLL cell migration regulation, resistance to BCR inhibitors, and the regulation and function of CD20. In 2019 he was awarded the prestigious ERC grant.
