The Pint of Science in Prague - Hana Cahová is a biochemist at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Czech Academy of Sciences. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is in all living cells and all viruses, and it is vital for coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes. Yet, until very recently we knew only very little about RNA's composition, its mode of action, and how it is made. Hana develops new tools for keeping track of RNA wherever it springs into action.
