Since 1981 until now his scientific interests are connected with studies of in vitro plant cell cultures and plants, in particular:
- their utilization for production and biotransformation of biologically active secondary metabolites and
- degradation (or accumulation) studies of xenobiotics (nitroaromatics, pesticides, toxic metals, radionuclides), including both small and large-scale applications.
His publication activities include over 90 original papers, 4 book chapters, 172 posters and other papers, 65 lectures and 12 patents.
Dr. Tomas Vanek acts as a vice-chairman of COST Action 837 ´Plant biotechnology for the removal of organic pollutants and toxic metals from wastewaters and contaminated sites.´ He is a member of the management committee of COST Action 843 ´Quality enhancement of plant production through tissue culture,´ and representative of the Czech Republic in-Cost Technical Committee for Agriculture, Food and Biotechnology. | | Areas of interest: | | | Articles: | 14 ESPR (7) 490-497 (2007), OPEN ACCESS: Using Phytoremediation Technologies to Upgrade Waste Water Treatment in Europe (8 pp)
