My name is Mariusz Dąbrowski. I received my MD in 1983 from the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice. In 1993 and in 1996, I received the titles of specialist in internal diseases and in diabetology, respectively. In 2008 I received a PhD from the Medical University in Lublin, and in 2019 I received the title of a habilitated doctor of medical sciences from the Medical University of Warsaw. I work as a clinician in a diabetic outpatient clinic and, since 2011, have worked at the University of Rzeszów, which I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Pathophysiology and Physiology at the Medical College. My research interests are mainly clinical and include the associations between diabetes and cancer, sense organs and currently diabetes in pregnancy and pregnancy in diabetes.
