Join the forthcoming IMol Science Club Seminar to discover secrets of L-asparaginase with Prof. Alex Wlodawer from National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center for Cancer Research. As a structural biologist he investigates the relationship between protein structure and function, mainly by high-resolution X-ray diffraction. Some of his areas of interest include elucidating structural features of […]

We encourage you to join us for the first IMol Science Club seminar after the summer break. On Friday, August 25, we will host Peter Sicinski from the Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, who will give a lecture entitled “Targeting cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) for cancer treatment” Our guest is a professor of genetics […]

The recent publication of IMol researchers identifies a novel defense mechanism to restore cellular protein homeostasis upon mitochondrial disease stress. The Chacinska group, with a leading researcher Minji Kim supported by Remigiusz Serwa, a head of the IMol Proteomics Core Facility, discovered a novel stress mechanism activated by defective mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell. […]

Do you want to find out more about molecular mechanisms of alternative splicing regulation in cancer? Come to the next IMol Science Club Seminar on June 22nd, where we will be joined by Juan Valcárcel of the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona. Prof. Valcárcel is the Deputy Director of the CRG, specializing in […]

For the third time, the prestigious EMBO Long Term Fellowship goes to IMol! Klaudia Maruszczak, a postdoc from the Chacińska lab, has just been awarded the stipend. Mitochondrial dysfunction and resulting impairment of organellar biogenesis leads to a build-up of proteinaceous deposits in the cytosol of the cell. Klaudia will study the mechanism of formation, […]

Another great news! Dr. Agata Kodroń and Dr. Minji Kim from the Chacinska Group and Dr. Paweł Mikulski, who will soon join us as a Group Leader, have been awarded SONATA 18 grants by NCN. Congratulations to all of the three laureates! Read more about the projects here: https://www.ncn.gov.pl/konkursy/wyniki/2023-05-18-opus24-sonata18
