PhD student , Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics Polish Academy of Sciences
I'm a PhD student currently studying aging with repurposed drugs. My model organism of interest is C. elegans.
I am deep-diving into topics of proteostasis, aging and drug repurposing.
Connect with me to explore more of these topics.
I am a motivated and results-oriented Biochemistry graduate with a strong passion for research and academia. I have developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills in areas such as molecular biology, laboratory techniques, and computational and natural product drug discovery. As a quick learner and open-minded team player, I aim to make meaningful contributions through innovative and impactful scientific research.

Investigating the cellular mechanisms of stromule formation in plant cells
Stromules are stroma-filled protrusions of plastids that involve a drastic and dynamic change of the organelle’s shape by extending its surface. Although the phenomenon has been observed and reported, especially during stress-related conditions, the underlying mechanism behind stromule formation remains to be elucidated. In my work, I am studying whether various protein candidates alter plastid morphology and their relation to stromulation by combining confocal microscopy of living cells with AI-assisted image analysis.
