Stand with Ukraine
On the second anniversary of Russia's aggression against Ukraine,
we continue to stand in solidarity with Ukraine.
Preludium Bis for M. Firczuk
Congratulations to Małgorzata Firczuk, PhD DSc who was granted funding from the National Science Center in PRELUDIUM BIS 5 competition for the project entitled:
"Exploring kinase hyperactivation as an innovative approach for chemo-immunotherapy for B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia”
The project will be conducted in the Laboratory of Immunology. It aims to develop new, targeted therapeutic strategies for the treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia based on chemo-immunotherapy. In the project, we are exploring a unique approach focused on enhancing the activity of kinase pathways in leukemia cells to induce their death and increase the expression of antigens vital for immunotherapy.
Cancer Fight Research Club
We invite you to a series of open lectures as part of the "Cancer Fight Research Club".
This is a return to the formula proven in 2019-20: after each lecture, the organizers invite all attendees to participate in discussions over tea/coffee and something sweet.
Interviews/questions will be conducted in English. The lectures will be recorded and posted on the YouTube channel, and soon they will also be broadcasted live with the possibility of asking questions via chat.
Thanks to funding from the Science for Society program of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the lectures will continue for at least 3 academic years.
Prime Minister's Prize for Justyna Janowska,PhD
Justyna Janowska, PhD
from NeuroRepair Department
has been awarded The Prime Minister’s Prize in recognition of outstanding achievements in the field of neurobiology for her distinguished doctoral dissertation entitled
“The Role of Oligodendrocyte Malfunctioning in the Pathogenesis of the White Matter Disorders resulting from perinatal asphyxia”
The Prize was awarded for the research allowing to understand the course of processes resulting from perinatal asphyxia and the search for an effective therapy to restore proper brain development of newborns. The high application potential of the conducted research and the cooperation undertaken with clinical units significantly increased the chances of translating the obtained results into the clinic, as a potential therapeutic strategy to prevent white matter damage.
The study was supervised by Profs Joanna Sypecka and Małgorzata Nałęcz and supported by NCN grant OPUS 2014/15/B/NZ4/01875.
