Overview
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Hlava institute, which was ceremoniously held on April 18, 1921. The opening of the institute was the result of many years of Professor Hlava´s efforts to provide a dignified space for pathology at the Czech university. Hlava fundamentally influenced Czech pathology and was undoubtedly one of the most important personalities of not only Czech and European pathology, but the entire field of Czech medicine of the period. His influence on pathology and microbiology is indisputable and widely known, but he has also fundamentally influenced other fields, especially oncology. On the occasion of this important anniversary the following entry offers a look at the personality of Professor Jaroslav Hlava and provides an overview of his research activities, as well as a complete list of his publications. The successors of Professor Hlava in the position of the head of institute are also briefly listed.
