Dr. Katarzyna Choroba received her Ph.D. in 2021 from the University of Silesia in Katowice. During her doctoral studies, she delved into the photophysical, catalytic, magnetic, and biological properties of selected transition metal coordination compounds, including platinum(II), gold(III), rhenium(I), cobalt(II), and copper(II) complexes. She is currently serving as an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Chemistry, University of Silesia. During her scientific career, she embarked on a research internship at the Laboratory of Genetics and Cancer Therapeutics, NOVA University of Lisbon, pursuing her knowledge of biological studies using human cell cultures and aseptic techniques for the assessment of the antiproliferative potential of Cu(II) and Pt(II) coordination compounds. Her current research focuses mainly on the development of transition metal complexes with cytotoxic or luminescent properties for applications in chemotherapy and optoelectronics, and studying the interplay between molecular structures and functional properties.
