Prof. Janusz M. Bujnicki and Prof. Jacek Jaworski are beneficiaries of the MASTER/MISTRZ programme of the Foundation for Polish Science.

Prof. Janusz M. Bujnicki, Head of the Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Protein Engineering received funding for the project entitled Functional studies on human and viral methyltransferases involved in RNA cap biosynthesis: from in silico docking and in vitro validation, to RNA methylation inhibition in human cells. Prof. Jacek Jaworski, Head of the Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology[nbsp] have been awarded a grant for the project entitled mTOR kinase and protein sorting by retromer and trans-Golgi network.

The Foundation for Polish Science has chosen the beneficiaries of its MISTRZ/MASTER programme for the seventeenth time. This year the academic grants for professors were awarded to eight leading researchers from the life sciences. The objective of the MISTRZ/MASTER programme is to support distinguished scholars by awarding them grants designed either to intensify the research they are already conducting or to explore new fields of research.
