I am a researcher at the Department of Molecular Biology, Faculty of Biology, University of Gdańsk. My research focuses on the interactions between bacteriophages and eukaryotic cells, particularly immune system cells, and the safety of phage therapy applications in animals. I also investigate the mechanisms of eukaryotic cell death. Additionally, I explore natural compounds, primarily those derived from cyanobacteria, as potential anticancer agents by evaluating their cytotoxic potential and mechanisms of action. My most important publications include: a) Podlacha, M., Gaffke, L., Grabowski, Ł., Mantej, J., Grabski, M., Pierzchalska, M., Pierzynowska, K., Węgrzyn, G., & Węgrzyn, A. (2024).
