Biography

In 2011, I received a master's degree in biotechnology with a specialty in the biotechnology of food and drugs at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin (Poland). Then, in 2020, I received a PhD degree at the Mossakowski Medical Research Institute (MMRI) of PAS in Warsaw, Poland. I gained professional experience in the field of cell and tissue engineering during the implementation of a doctoral project, managing my own projects, domestic and foreign internships, and participation in training at prestigious foreign centers. I participated in short-term internships at the University of Buffalo (USA), University of Milan (Italy), Masaryk University (Czech Republic), and international trainings on 3D printing and biofabrication (Netherlands, 2018), genetic engineering of mammalian stem cells (UK, 2018), and genome editing using CRISPR/Cas (Germany, 2017). Since 2019, I have worked as an assistant professor at the Department of Neurochemistry at the Mossakowski Medical Research Institute (MMRI) of PAS in Warsaw (Poland). Since 2022, I have also worked as an assistant professor at the Laboratory of Supporting Diagnosis and Therapy of Metabolic Diseases at the Nalecz Institute of Biocybernetic and Biomedical Engineering of PAS.
