Paweł is an expert in detection and measurement techniques with a strong background in microbiology and biotechnology. He graduated from the Interfaculty Studies of Biotechnology at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences in 2013. Working at the Maria Sklodowska – Curie Memorial Cancer Center and Institute of Oncology, Paweł researched early detection of cancer cells in body fluids, and later – he studied molecular mechanisms of resistance of tuberculosis bacteria to anti-TB drugs at the National Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases Research Institute. As an expert in detection and measurement methods, Paweł invented a few relevant modifications which enhanced their sensitivity, repeatability, and overall performance. This led him to became one of the SERSitive cofounders and its CTO & COO.
