• Prof. Yuji Sugita from RIKEN visited our lab and together with our team leader Joanna Trylska gave talks at the BioNano8 conference in Cracow
• We took part in organizing classes for participants of the GIFTED Programme by the Polish Children’s Fund; Michał and Iza conducted scientific workshops on antimicrobial peptides and Monika gave a lecture on designing new antibiotics

• We received the Preludium BIS 4 funding from the National Science Centre. See the announcement.
• New post-doc, Piotr, joined our group to work on PNA conjugates in OPUS 19. Welcome!

On Dec 19, 2022 Natalia defended her PhD thesis “Effects of macromolecular crowding on the activity and dynamics of the NS3/4A protease from the hepatitis C virus. The synergy between experiments and molecular dynamics simulations”. Congratulations!

Iza joined our team to work on her PhD thesis on PNA conjugates. Welcome!

We received IDUB “Tandems for Excellence” funding for a computational project on the effects of Ficoll crowders on the dynamics of a protease encoded by the HCV virus. The project is in collaboration with prof. Michael Feig from Michigan State University.

Gosia joined our group to work on antibacterial peptides in the IDUB New Ideas project. Welcome!

Jan joined our group as a new computational scientist to work in the Opus project. Welcome!

Marcin Równicki received Prime Minister’s award for the best PhD thesis in biological sciences in 2020. Congratulations! More information is here at the University of Warsaw web page.

Our lab received IDUB POB I funding for the project on the antibacterial peptides. Congratulations to Monika and Piotr.

Włada joined our lab as a PhD student in the Doctoral School of Natural and Exact Sciences of the University of Warsaw. Welcome!

Piotr Chyży got admitted to the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School of the University of Warsaw. He will continue the project within the Harmonia grant but will also do research on peptide-based antibiotics toward hi PhD. Congratulations!
