Young Researchers from the University of Rzeszów Establish Local Branch of the FEBS Junior Section Poland
We are delighted to announce that young researchers from the University of Rzeszów, in collaboration with colleagues from Rzeszów University of Technology, are currently establishing and organising a local branch (Rzeszów Section) of the FEBS Junior Section Poland, which was launched in 2024 under the auspices of the Polish Biochemical Society.
Junior Sections are formed by students, PhD candidates, and early-career researchers affiliated with various national biochemical societies across Europe, all of which are members of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS).
The primary goal of FEBS Junior Poland is to foster collaboration and shared initiatives, including thematic discussions, scientific conferences, symposia, and workshops. The section also promotes resource sharing and offers young researchers opportunities to develop their careers in the life sciences – both within Poland and internationally – by facilitating valuable contacts and networking.
The Rzeszów Section of FEBS Junior PL is currently formed by:
- Dr Eng. Roman Maślanka (University of Rzeszów; Section Leader and Organiser)
- Dr Wiktoria Jordan-Stasiło (University of Rzeszów)
- Dr Mateusz Rybak (University of Rzeszów)
- Dr Eng. Michalina Grzesik-Pietrasiewicz (University of Rzeszów)
- Dr Eng. Konrad Hus (Rzeszów University of Technology)
- Dr Eng. Paulina Książek-Trela (University of Rzeszów)
- MSc Beata Ciak-Wojdyła (University of Rzeszów)
- MSc Martyna Materowska (University of Rzeszów)
Who can join the FEBS Junior PL Section?
To become a member, one must be:
- An early-career researcher (up to 40 years of age) working in the broadly defined life sciences;
- An author of at least one published scientific paper;
- In exceptional cases, a student actively engaged in and passionate about biochemistry and related disciplines may also be eligible, even without a published paper.
