General interest:

The influence of intracellular and extracellular factors on the physiological state and size of the cells and their proliferative capacity. The influence of different availability of carbohydrates on the physiological state, energy metabolism, biosynthetic and degradation processes of the cell, and what impact this has on cell proliferative capacity.

Research interests:

cellular biochemistry, central carbon metabolism, glucose metabolism, fructose vs glucose metabolism, calorie restriction, calorie excess, periodic starvation, non-mitochondrial ROS, cell size and reproductive potential, cellular biosynthetic and degradation processes, yeast, autofluorescence.

My works also include scientific papers related to the issue of oxidative stress and redox homeostasis.

Research achievements:

Winner of the Witold Drabikowski Award of the Polish Biochemical Society for the best Ph.D. thesis in biochemistry defended in 2019.

Recipient of the Best Poster Award for a Young Scientist at the 48th Annual Conference on Yeasts (ACY 2024) and of the Rector’s Award of the University of Rzeszów for outstanding scientific achievements in 2024.

Reviewer for several international scientific journals, including Scientific Reports, Epigenetics & Chromatin, BioEssays, Biogerontology, Discover Life, BMC Microbiology, and Food Microbiology.

Actively involved in organizational and science outreach activities, including 3 times coordination of the nationwide ‘Noc Biologów’ initiative at the University of Rzeszów (2020–2022).”

Research project:

  • Head of the research project NCN MINIATURA 5  "Extramitochondrial generation of reactive oxygen species and energy metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells."
  • Research participant in NCN research grant "Replicative versus chronological aging of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae."
  • Research participant in tasks conducted under the "Regional Initiative of Excellence’ program funded by the Ministry of Science (Agreement No. RID/SP/0010/2024/1).”
