Who I am:
I am a final-year biotechnology student at Jagiellonian University, passionate about connecting molecular research with real-world health and environmental challenges. I have experience in developmental biology and molecular analysis of embryos and placentae. Outside the lab, I’m an avid reader who enjoys literary challenges and exploring different genres.

My BioLAB work in the lab focuses on:
I will study how microplastic exposure affects the mouse ovaries, with a focus on fertility and transgenerational effects. My work will involve genome-wide techniques and molecular biology tools to understand how environmental toxins shape reproductive health.

I decided to apply for a BioLAB program because:
I wanted to grow in an international, interdisciplinary environment and strengthen my lab and analytical skills. The BioLAB Program offers a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful research while exploring my future career options.

After completing my stay on BioLAB Program I would like to:
I’m still exploring which scientific path suits me best — whether it’s a PhD, industry, or something in between. I believe that the BioLAB experience will give me the perspective, confidence, and clarity I need to make an informed decision about my future in science.
