Date of birth: June 2nd, 1973, Wroclaw, Poland. Married, two children.   

Education:

2011 Ph.D Medical University of Bialystok, advisor prof. R. Bucki
2000 M.D. Medical University of Warsaw

Scientific focus areas:  I am interested in a fresh approach to uncover steps in wild-type protein folding – process that is actually the most relevant one for patients, as majority of them do not have mutations in disease-causing proteins. I am developing a group working with these fundamental aspects of protein folding and form a technological platform that is specialized but disease-generic and thus widely applicable to similar types of research.
