Ondrej obtained his PhD in 2011 at the University of Defence in Hradec Kralove. The
main aim of the thesis was to characterize non-reactivating effects of cholinesterase
reactivators as the antidotes against organophosphorus poisoning. Currently, as a
postdoctoral fellow at the NIMH (Novel potential drugs working group) and at the
Biomedical Research Center (BRC), University Hospital Hradec Kralove, is responsible
