I’m an enthusiastic engineer/biotechnologist, with a strong background in biology.
I have worked on chlorophyll metabolism related to cancer research at my beloved UJ in Krakow where I got my master degree in science (Biotech) while investigate the potential effectiveness for photodynamic therapy of chlorophyll derivatives. I have some extra valuable knowledge about different disciplines like data science, entrepreneurship and bioethics that I have acquired during my years looking for a place to definitely work on.
Currently I’m an academic at my alma mater (UNAP) and I’m involved on what move my passion and makes me love even more my profession at the UAB, researching micro and nanoplastics, their characteristics and trying to push some information on the hazard related with their interactions.
I’m in love with justice and I’m willing to do everything that’s on my hands to help people to get what they deserve or what are they willing to fight for. I have volunteered and enjoyed a lot my time as a Erasmus Mundus country representative for Chile and as well as a Country Representative network manager.
Last but not least I do prefer to dance awkwardly than walk lamely.
