She joins the LIDER grant (leader: Karina Kwapiszewska) and conducts research on the internalization of chemical and biological molecules into living cells. Aneta graduated biotechnology (master’s degree, specialization Medicines and Cosmetics) from the Faculty of Chemistry at Warsaw University of Technology. As a part of her engineering thesis, she conducted research on the inactivation of bacteriophages by the electric field (with Łukasz Richter and Jan Paczesny). Afterward, she started cooperation with the National Medicines Institute, where she carried out master’s research.

Asia graduated from the Faculty of Physics at Warsaw University with a specialization in Molecular biophysics (Bachelor’s degree). Currently, she is a master’s student in the same field of studies. Her bachelor’s thesis related to the analysis of internalization of the anticancer drug into living cells using FCS and she conducted research under the supervision of Karina Kwapiszewska and Aneta Karpińska. Her areas of scientific interest are cancer treatment and drug development. In her free time, Asia enjoys cooking, traveling, and snowboarding during the winter.
Passionate about breaking interdisciplinary barriers. My main interest is understanding cell biology and biophysics in order to utilize them in bioanalysis, tissue engineering, and pharmacology. In my research, I bridge biology with hi-tech solutions like microfluidics and advanced microscopy.
