Scientists from IBB PAS, IIMCB, Aarhus University and University of Turku analyzed the dynamics of deadenylation of polyadenosine (pA) tails of mRNA in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae under basal and stress conditions. pA tails are an evolutionarily conserved modification of the 3′ end of mRNA, which is required for export of the transcript from the (…)

Scientists from IBB PAS (DNA Sequencing and Synthesis Facility and Laboratory of Bacterial Drug Resistance) have studied Polish samples of antibiotic-resistant isolates of the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes, a specialized human pathogen which is among the top 10 causes of death from infectious diseases. In this study they describe detection of a novel hybrid Integrative-Conjugative Element, (…)

If you are interested in how microorganisms interact with plants at the molecular level and how this affects crops productivity, then on behalf of the Organizers we invite you to the W. Gajewski Auditorium (room E) on 14th of Nov. at 10:45 am for a series of 4 lectures. You will not only learn about (…)

We are pleased to announce that the DKMS Foundation grants for blood cancer research have been awarded to dr Paweł Ćwiek from IBB PAS and dr Tadeusz Kubicki from the Poznań Medical University. Congratulations! The project “Identification of the molecular mechanism of depletion of anti-CD19 CAR-T CD4+ by DLBCL lymphoma cells” was awarded in the (…)

Researchers from the University of Gdańsk and IBB PAS (Department of Antarctic Biology) have analyzed the age, size and distribution of populations of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba)  in the western Antarctic and have assessed their availability to predators such as penguins of the genus Pygoscelis. Krill plays a key role in the Antarctic ecosystem, where (…)

Researchers from the Antarctic Biology Department, in collaboration with the team of Appsilon Data for Good and with the support of scientists from South Africa and Germany, completed a microgrant by publishing a paper in Ecological Informatics: “Using machine learning to count Antarctic shag (Leucocarbo bransfieldensis) nests on images captured by remotely piloted aircraft systems”. This project combines unique and important research data with state-of-the-art techniques for object detection. (…)

We are pleased to announce that dr Kornelia Wójcik-Długoborska and dr Joanna Plenzler from the Department of Antarctic Biology have been awarded grants in the NCN call MINIATURA 8. The grants will serve to carry out the research projects: “The lakes of King George Island: Water physicochemistry and carbon content in sediments” (K. Wójcik-Długoborska) and (…)

The Presidium of the Scientific Council of IBB PAS supports the appeal of the Council of the National Science Centre (NCN) to increase funding for scientific research in Poland. A Resolution to this effect was passed on October 9, 2024. (…)

We are happy to remind you that a celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics PAS will be held on 10.10.2024 at 10:00 am at the POLIN Museum in Warsaw. The program will include a Jubilee Lecture Session and an open remembrance session. (…)

The Board of Directors of the Institute, together with the Chairman of the Scientific Council, invite all employees, doctoral students and students of IBB PAS to “IBB DAY”, which will be held on October 11, 2024.
