I am a postdoc in Marta Bally’s group at the Department of Clinical Microbiology. I investigate the interaction of coronaviruses and filoviruses with the cell surface.
I studied Biotechnology at Intercollegiate Faculty of Biotechnology at the University of Gdansk and Medical University of Gdansk, Poland, where I continued with PhD studies in the field of Virology. My research focused on analysis of immune evasion mechanisms of bovine herpesvirus 1. The emergence of COVID-19 epidemic encouraged me to take interest in RNA viruses. During my first Postdoc I have been working on determining the anti-coronavirus potential of compounds that were designed to block N-glycosylation maturation of viral proteins.
In October 2022 I joined Marta Bally lab for my second Postdoc. I am currently investigating the interaction of coronaviruses and filoviruses with the cell surface.
