Participation in Grant OPUS; (2017/25/B/NZ7/00638), head of the project – professor Justyna Rogalska, 2018 – 2020
Title: New view on the impact of electromagnetic field of low frequency (50 Hz) on stress responses and brain plasticity – hormesis effect.
Participation in Universitas Copernicana Thoruniensis In Futuro program development of competences (POWER), head of the project – professor Grażyna Dąbrowska, 2018 – 2020
Title: Zmiany ekspresji genów w organizmach prokariotycznych i eukariotycznych w warunkach stresu.
Current doctoral studies: A new view on freeze tolerance/avoidance in land snails – role of HSP/CSP proteins. The experiments will be performed on snails exposed to different temperatures and humidities under controlled laboratory conditions, and concentration of HSPs and CSPs will be measured during the seasonal hypometabolism/activity cycles.
This project combines a few fields of study like animal physiology, microbiology, molecular biology and also biochemistry, allowing me to experience many different kinds of methods and experiments remaining in my research interests.
