Dr. Aleksandra Anna Kołodziejczyk with a new NCN grant!

Dr. Aleksandra Kołodziejczyk, the Head of the Laboratory of Cellular Genomics at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw, has received funding under the SONATA 18 scheme, organized by the National Science Centre (NCN). Dr. Kołodziejczyk has been awarded with a grant of 2 544 840 PLN for the project entitled: "The role of gut-liver axis in Amanita species mushroom poisoning". Dr. Kołodziejczyk took the first place within NZ5 panel projects in the ranking list. Congratulations!

The aim of the project is to gain comprehensive understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of Amanita phalloides poisoning with a goal in mind to improve clinical outcomes. The description of the project is available here.

The project will last 36 months and it will be carried out by a consortium of two institutions, namely, the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw and Medical University of Warsaw.

Dr hab. Cecilia Winata - laureate of the OPUS 24 scheme!

Dr hab. Cecilia Winata, Head of the Laboratory of Zebrafish Developmental Genomics at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw, has received funding under the OPUS 24 scheme, organized by the National Science Centre (NCN). Dr hab. Cecilia Winata has been awarded a grant of 3 040 240 PLN for the project entitled: "Elucidating the contribution of non-coding genomic elements to heart development and disease at single-cell resolution". Dr hab. Cecilia Winata took the first place within NZ2 panel projects in the ranking list. Congratulations!

The project will last 48 months. Its goal is to reveal novel congenital heart disease-causing genetic factors and mechanisms, and contribute critical insights into understanding the mechanism of non-coding genetic variants in the pathogenesis of this condition.
