Few in the Czech Republic have stood up for the pandemic as the scientists from DIANA Biotechnologies, winners of the EY Entrepreneur of the Year for the Central Bohemian Region. They accelerated the work of the laboratories, made life easier for us tested and by all this they gained big money for the development of their other projects.
