A graduate of Medical Analytics at the Poznan University of Medical Sciences. Since 2018, she has been associated with the Department of Molecular Pathology, where she carried out research focused on the molecular basis of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, which was part of her doctoral thesis entitled “Identification of mechanisms related to the expression of TMEM244 gene and its role in cutaneous T-cell lymphomas”. She gained experience during foreign internships at the University of Edinburgh in Great Britain and at the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands. Currently, she focuses her research on the molecular basis of dermatological diseases as well as cell therapy for hematological cancers. She is the leader of the project financed by the National Science Center “Overcoming CAR-T cell exhaustion via CRISPR- based enhancer modification”.
