She graduated from Medical Biotechnology at the Poznań University of Medical Sciences. She completed her master’s thesis entitled “Optimization and verification of ESX1 gene activation using CRISPR technology in human cells derived from the male gonad” at the Department of Reproductive Biology and Stem Cells of the Institute of Human Genetics of the Polish Academy of Sciences under the supervision of prof. dr hab. n. med. Maciej Kurpisz and dr n. med. Agnieszka Malcher.

During her studies, she gained experience by participating in the Marisurf project at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and in the project entitled “Comprehensive molecular analysis of the ORMDL3 gene in bronchial asthma” in the Student Scientific Club of Medical Biology at the Poznań University of Medical Sciences.

Currently a PhD student, she is participating in the Sonata Bis 10 project entitled “Cytogenetic and molecular analyses of positioning of human sperm chromosomes, including: sperm chromatin integrity, epigenetic marks, karyotyping and sperm fractioning” (no. 2020/38/E/NZ2/00134)
