Daniel ČAPEK
Senior Scientist

Daniel was a Senior Scientist in the Leithner lab from October 2025 to August 2026, joining the group alongside Alex at its inception. He was instrumental in getting the lab off the ground, from setting up essential infrastructure and conducting the very first experiments to establishing collaborations. His expertise, dedication, and enthusiasm were invaluable during this formative period and helped lay the foundations for the lab’s future research. In August 2026, Daniel moved on to  establish his own research group at the Michael Sars Centre, University of Bergen, Norway. We are deeply grateful for his contributions and wish him every success in this exciting next chapter of his career.
