About.

I'm from Poland, a country rich in beauty and diversity. As a child, every summer I was exploring nature in the mountains. This made me fascinated with life and biology. I was amazed by the human body and I followed my curiosity into becoming a researcher. When I got diagnosed with a strange illness, I turned to stem cells as a possible cure. It wasn't easy to be a part of the scientific community, but I decided to do my best. I worked hard and earned my PhD. Through the years of studying stem cells' innovative application in medicine I was dealing with my new life without eating fat. My body was teaching me what it needs. I was experimenting with various diets, from raw food for health to advocating against processed foods, my journey evolved alongside my work in cultured meat. It made me realize that most of the products we can get in the grocery are not made for us to stay fit. After exciting years of living in many countries I found a way to calm myself with yoga and meditations. I started to trust myself that I will find the way out of my disease, either way. With optimism as my guide, I continue to journey forward, fueled by a relentless determination to find healing and make a positive impact on the world.

Postdoctoral Researcher,
Kemijski inštitut - National Institute of Chemistry, Ljubljana, Slovenia

I am bringing my expertise in stem cell differentiation to study the implications of O-Glc-NAcylation in TDP-43 proteinopathies. By using molecular biology tools to study specific protein-RNA complexes that are perturbed in diseases, especially in neurodegeneration. I was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship founded by ERA to study how O-Glc-NAc modification of the proteins affect their RNA binding.

Postdoctoral Researcher,
Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology PAS, Braincity project, Warsaw, Poland

I was working to obtain a brain organoid model of dementia by differentiating stem cellsinto cerebral organoids.

Cell culture scientist, Peace of meat, Antwerpen, Belgium

I got a scientific position in a start-up company where I was using avian stem cells to produce meat for a sustainable future. I learned the isolation of stem cells from developing eggs, their culture in vitro, and differentiation into muscle and fat.

Postdoctoral Researcher,
Leiden UniversityMedical Center, Netherlands

I worked as Postdoc in RegMed XB project at Einthoven Laboratory getting experience with: clinical pancreatic islet isolation in GMP conditions, preparing cells for transplantation. Initiation of the stem cell culture and differentiation laboratory for this department. Optimization of cells culture and characterization tests. Improving pluripotent stem cell differentiation into pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells.

PhD student,
Cell Techniques and Applied Stem Cell Biology, Biomedical, and Biotechnological Center, Leipzig University, GERMANY

I was awarded a scholarship from Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellowship to be a Ph.D.student in BIOART project which give me the opportunity to generate new iPS cell line by reprogramming with episomal vectors. I did optimization of cells characterization and hepatic differentiation. I analysed ncRNA seq  data a do some visualization in R. We discover also few new snoRNA genes.

Research Assistant,
Celther, Łódź, Poland

I worked in Celther Poland Sp z o.o. in the project: “Developing an effective and safe therapybased on the use of stem cells”; Medical University of Łodz.  I was reprogramming human cells isolated from the skin with Sendai and lentiviral vectors. I did pluripotency characterization and image analysis using Nikon BioStation. I also made cell lines with known oncogenes over-expression.

additionally

I was PhD student in Poland in Poznań for 4 months where I was studying RNA toxicity in polyglutamine disorders.
I also worked in histopathological laboratory where we in big scale prices tissues for histopathological analysis.
During my studies I was working in different types of customer service jobs and in tourism.
