Graduate in Biotechnology from the University of Wrocław and Wrocław University of Science and Technology. In 2021, she obtained an MSc degree in Biotechnology from Wrocław University of Science and Technology, specializing in molecular biotechnology and biocatalysis. Her master’s thesis focused on the analysis of the effects of selected therapeutics on cellular metabolic alterations.
During her studies, she gained laboratory experience through several research internships, including at the Ludwik Hirszfeld Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy Polish Academy of Sciences in Wrocław, where she worked with mammalian cell cultures and molecular biology techniques. She also completed an internship carried out in collaboration with TERRABIO, involving the development of a mobile molecular analyzer for the detection of fungal pathogens using PCR-based methods.
In 2026, she defended her doctoral dissertation prepared at Wrocław University of Science and Technology in collaboration with the Wrocław Medical University, obtaining a PhD degree in the field of exact and natural sciences, in the discipline of chemical sciences. Her doctoral research focused on the effects of curcumin, metformin, and hesperidin on cellular metabolism in oxidative stress, cancer, and inflammatory models, using cell biology methods and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. During her doctoral studies, she participated in research projects in the field of metabolomics, including collaboration with the Bristol Urological Institute in the United Kingdom on metabolomic, chemometric, and statistical analyses of samples obtained from bladder cancer patients. She was also a scholarship recipient in the SONATA BIS 11 program funded by the National Science Centre Poland, in a project focused on dry eye syndrome following cataract surgery, involving metabolomic and lipidomic analyses using LC-MS techniques.
Since August 2025, she has been employed as a biotechnologist at the Laboratory for Cell Research and Application of the Medical University of Warsaw.
