STUDENTS




Dorota Kaja Sabat



Kaja I am studying biology and psychology at the College of Interfaculty Individual Studies in Mathematics and Natural Sciences . So far I was researching mutations in POLG1 human gene, but this year I am beginning my adventure with embryology. Aside from science, I like traveling and taking photographs. I am also enthusiastic rock climber :)




Elżbieta Jankowska



Ela I'm a fifth year student of Biotechnology, which means I'm going to spend next year working on my Masters thesis. My area of scientific interest includes ancient DNA, molecular phylogenetics, synthetic biology (of course:p) and anything I find interesting at the moment. Apart from that I like travelling, singing and sci-fi & fantasy.




Anna Misiukiewicz



Anna I’m a last year student of biotechnology at the University of Warsaw. My Bachelor thesis was done at the Department of Applied Microbiology, so does Master. Usually, my lab partner is Yersinia enterocolitica but this summer I decided to make an exception and befriend Bacillus subtilis. I can’t imagine my life without a cup of black tea, weather forecast and visiting my hometown – Białystok. I dream of spending my holiday walking and taking some pictures with my old Zenit camera, but this year my fondness of bacteria turns out to be stronger ;)




Anna Krystyna Saffray



Krzysiek I am a first year student at the University of Warsaw, and I am studying biotechnology.
I enjoy spending time in the laboratory learning new exciting approaches, methods and facts, that is why I am trying different projects. I have met the World of: plants, bacteria, yeasts, as well as the World of cells, I don't know yet what to choose but I guess at one point I will just know.

I can't wait to go to the IGEM conference and hear about new ideas and projects of other students that are going to be present, it is always a great opportunity to talk with people that share the same passion for science.
Apart from my first hobby (science) I enjoy listening to classical music, especially Rachmaninov and play the piano.
When I get away from the crowd in Warsaw I enjoy the wonder of natural horsemanship.Spending time with my horses taught me that all I need to do is: be present, listen, observe and everything will be alright...




ADVISORS




Antoni Rościszewski



Antoni Bioinformatics undergraduate student at Warsaw University (faculty of Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics).




Krzysztof Szczepaniak



Krzysiek I'm finishing my studies at the College of Interfaculty Individual Studies in Mathematics and Natural Sciences but I'm going to stay in Science business;) Beside biology, I like computer programming and I try to develop my skills in this field. Outside the lab I am a scout leader, I'm interested in foreign languages, astronomy and I love everything connected with science-fiction and fantasy.




INSTRUCTORS




prof. dr hab. Jacek Bielecki

Education: MSc, University of Warsaw, 1975 ;PhD, University of Warsaw, 1981 ;Associated professor, Warsaw University, 1995; Professor at University of Warsaw, 1996 ;Vice Dean of Faculty of Biology, 1996 - 1999, and 1999-2002

dr Radosław Stachowiak



Radek My adventure with biology and biotechnology dates back to 1995 when I became a biotechnology student at the University of Warsaw. In the year 2000 I completed my MSc thesis and I guess I couldn’t stop there so I immidiately started PhD studies. Now I’m done with studying and my job is to take care of students and introduce them into science. Still, I like being involved in crazy projects so characteristic of Sudent's Societies. The more crazy and incredible project the better. I guess this is the case so here I am.




dr Takao Ishikawa



Takao Born in Tokyo, working and living in Warsaw, I am interested in protein-protein interactions. In my research, I employ in silico modeling of protein complexes and theirs verification by molecular biology methods. I am not only fascinated by life science, but also being in love with popularization of science. Giving lectures for students, teachers, and children give me a lot of fun!
