Who I am:
I am a Medicinal Chemistry student at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. As part of my Master’s research at the Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology, I focus on designing and developing 3D-printed devices for generating three-dimensional cell culture models. I am particularly fascinated by interdisciplinary fields where biology, chemistry and engineering intersect to create innovative solutions. This interest has led me to tissue engineering, an area that combines science and technology to push the boundaries of what is possible.

Outside the lab, I enjoy staying active through hiking, practicing martial arts and honing my archery skills. I am also passionate about video games, anime, fantasy books, drawing and collecting Pokémon cards.

My BioLAB work in the lab focuses on:
characterizing the role of cell-intrinsic metabolic pathways that are differentially active in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) under nutrient stress conditions and in vivo. In Schwörer’s lab, I aim to investigate the mechanisms by which these pathways regulate the CAF state in both 3D culture and mouse models of cancer.

I decided to apply for a BioLAB program because:

it provides a unique opportunity to work on challenging and meaningful research projects at prestigious institutions. This experience combines valuable hands-on laboratory training, collaboration with renowned scientists and an unforgettable year-long adventure in the USA.

After completing my stay on BioLAB Program I would like to:
continue my scientific journey by pursuing a PhD in Bioengineering. I aim to contribute to the field of regenerative medicine by utilizing bioprinting technologies to engineer functional human tissues and organs.
