Emil Paleček
Emil Paleček (3 October 1930 – 30 October 2018) was a Czech biochemist. He researched how DNA can be used to diagnose genetic diseases. Paleček discovered electrochemistry in nucleic acids. He was Jewish and his father died in the Holocaust.[1]
In 1959, Paleček got a PhD in biochemistry from Masaryk University in Brno, Czechoslovakia (now in the Czech Republic).[2] During the 1960s, Paleček worked at the Biophysical Institute of the Academy of Sciences in Brno.[3]
In 1989, Paleček became a member of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences.[2] From 1993–97, he was a member of the Czech Academy of Sciences.[2] In 1994, Paleček was one of the founding members of the Learned Society of the Czech Republic.[4]
Paleček died of a stroke while swimming on 30 October 2018 in Brno, Czech Republic at the age of 88.[1]
