His research focuses on how neurons modify their activity in response to both internal and external signals.
Role in the project: Coordinator of the SAME-NeuroID
PhD – Principal Investigator, Head of Astrocytes Biology Research Group. The main focus is the role of astrocytes in neurophysiology and neuropathology. Combines advanced genetic manipulation of astrocytes with state-of-the-art methods to visualize the effects of interventions on metabolic and synaptic function of astrocytes in vitro and circuit-specific behavioral phenotypes relevant to psychiatric disorders.
Role in the project: Coordinator of Twinning research agenda at Łukasiewicz – PORT
PhD – Director of the Life Science & Biotechnology Center, Head of Genome Dynamics Research Group. He conducts interdisciplinary research in the field of biological sciences, biotechnology and molecular medicine. The main areas of interest are DNA repair mechanisms, mutation fixation processes and evolution of the genome structure.
Role in the project: Leader of interdisciplinary research
PhD – Principal Investigator, Head of Synaptogenesis Lab from February 2020. He is interested in modeling neuropsychiatric disorders in mouse models and in cultured cells. His studies aimed at understanding the mechanisms regulating the formation and organization of synapses in the central and the peripheral nervous systems and their aberrations in disease. His research focuses on the function of the Angiomotin family of proteins in the brain.
Role in the project: Leader of interdisciplinary research
PhD – Principal Investigator, Head of the Laboratory of Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration. She is interested in understanding how aged cells get prompt to neurodegeneration. She investigates the protein quality control pathways in human-relevant in vitro models as well as in vivo for improved translatability of research.
Role in the project: “In vitro” task supervisor
PhD – Research Engineer, Post-doc. He is interested in automation of scientific tools and processes and in the future intersection of machine learning and science. In Twinning, he focuses on establishing a „Social Box” solution for reliable and unbiased analysis of more complex, animal social behavior.
Role in the project: “In vivo” task supervisor
PhD, Eng. – PORT Head of the Technology Transfer, Areas of expertise and interest include materials science, biomedical engineering, biotech and deep tech developments.

He obtained a PhD in pharmacy and pharmacology from the “University of Bath” in England in 2015. His previous work experiences include: Patent Analyst in the MedTech startup group: Passio group in Bydgoszcz, “Business Solutions Consultant” for the international company: Comarch Healthcare, and Innovation Broker at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, responsible for Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz.
Role in the project: Technology Audit and Pre-incubation Advisor
PhD – Senior Research Engineer. She is interested in deciphering the molecular mechanisms through which exposure to stress contributes to the development of neuropsychiatric and metabolic disorders. Her research explores cell type–specific mechanisms of the stress response using human iPSC-derived brain cells and animal models of stress.
Role in the project: content administrator of the SAME-Match-Treat platform and producer of the PORTfolio podcast
PhD – Senior Research Engineer. She is involved in projects investigating the impact of stress on brain metabolism, as well as how different physiological brain states modulate selected brain functions in mouse models, using in vivo imaging combined with behavioral video-tracking.
Role in the project: content administrator of the SAME-Match-Treat platform and producer of the PORTfolio podcast
PhD – Research Engineer in the Translational Neuropsychiatry Research Group. His main research interest is in the molecular mechanisms of TDP-43 dysfunction and impact on cellular energy metabolism in neurodegenerative disorders such as ALS and FTLD. He specializes in combining transcriptomics, metabolic flux analysis, and cell-type–specific phenotyping to uncover how RNA dysregulation leads to neuroglial metabolic imbalances.
