Katarzyna joined Zurich University of Applied Sciences in 2014. She works at the Institute of Chemistry and Biotechnology in the group of "Cell biology and Tissue Engineering" with Prof. Ursula Graf-Hausner. She is a scientific associate and project manager of Competence Center TEDD (Tissue Engineering for Drug Development and Substance Testing).
In 2013-2014 she did a postdoc at the Institute Curie in Paris, France. She worked on the collaborative project between physicists at the "Biomimetism of cellular movement" (Dr Timo Betz) and biologists at the "Cell migration and invasion" (Dr Danijela Matic Vignjevic). She was investigating how the physical and mechanical processes affect cancer invasion during metastasis. She worked with the 3D tissue models of the tumor and gain extensive microscopy expertise.
In 2012 she worked at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in the Marine Biology Research Division in La Jolla, CA, USA. In collaboration with Dr Mark Hildebrand’s lab she investigated the properties and potential applications of nanostructured silica produced by the marine algae diatoms.
In 2012 she was awarded PhD at the University of Cambridge (Hughes Hall College). She worked at Medical Research Council Human Nutrition Research Centre in BioMineral Research Group (Prof. Jonathan Powell) between 2007-2012. She investigated the role of a trace element silicon (Si) in the extracellular matrix of the connective tissue cells in mammals. Before her PhD studies she was involved in several projects on biological role of nutritional elements such as calcium, phosphorus, manganese and iron at the MRC Human Nutrition Research. She was also involved in development of novel iron-based therapeutics.
For her MSc she studied biotechnology with the special focus on food biotech and quality at Warsaw University of Life Sciences in Poland. After her graduation she worked for Bristol-Myers Squibb in Warsaw in Pharmacovigilance Department, where she was involved in drug safety monitoring.
