Katarzyna Pawlak is a Professor in the Chair of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry at Warsaw University of Technology, where she has been since 2002. She is a President of Polish Society of Mass Spectrometry. During 2017 she was a Visiting Associate Professor at the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience, University of Nebraska Medical Center, USA. She received a B.S. and M.S. from Warsaw University of Technology in 1999. She conducted her PhD in the laboratory of Professor Ryszard Lobinski (CNRS, Pau, France) and received her doctor degree in Chemical Science from the University of Technology in 2002. From 2019 to 2022 she worked at Masdiag medical diagnostics laboratory as a Senior Scientist and leader for two projects. Her research interests span both analytical chemistry and studies of metabolome transformations crucial for medical diagnostics. In 2003 she implemented hyphenated techniques (capillary electrophoresis and micro/nano-liquid chromatography coupled with ICP-MS and ESI-MS) at Warsaw University of Technology which are successfully applied for metabolomic, metallomic and proteomic studies. Professor Pawlak is co-author of over 90 on bioanalytical chemistry. As of 2022, Scopus reports over 1800 citations to her work. She has given numerous invited talks and tutorials.
