Laboratory of Bacterial Drug Resistance

Our laboratory is interested in understanding regulation of the conjugative transfer system in IncM plasmids, one of the major plasmid families that are responsible for the dissemination of chemotherapeutic resistance (…)

Magdalena Kowalczyk, PhD, DSc

Laboratory of Lactic Acid Bacteria Biotechnology

Our laboratory is interested in biodiversity and environmental interactions in complex ecosystems with a special regard to lactic acid bacteria (LAB). It deals with studies of bacterial population diversity and (…)

Joanna Kruszewska, PhD, DSc, Prof.

Laboratory of Fungal Biology

Regulation of cellular metabolism in fungi, with a special emphasis on cell wall assembly, protein synthesis, modification, and secretion, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and the creation and regulation of pathogenic features (…)

Magdalena Krzymowska, PhD, DSc, Prof. of IBB PAS

Laboratory of Plant and Microbial Biology

Research in our laboratory investigates the interplay between plants and pathogenic microorganisms. We focus on the roles of proteinaceous effectors that are secreted by pathogens to dampen host defense responses. (…)
