I am a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Postdoctoral Fellow in the Laboratory for Neurodiversity at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science. I earned my PhD in Food Technology and Nutrition from Lodz University of Technology, where I studied how plant-derived compounds regulate the fructose transporter GLUT5 in colorectal cancer cells. Before joining RIKEN, I investigated the potential of plant-derived compounds to protect liver cells against aflatoxin B1 toxicity at the Institute of Genetics and Animal Biotechnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. My research aims to identify transcription factors involved in metabolic and neurodevelopmental disorders and to understand how epigenetic mechanisms contribute to their onset and progression. I am also interested in identifying naturally occurring compounds with therapeutic potential and investigating their mechanisms of action.
