AGATA DASZKOWSKA-GOLEC, PhD, DSc
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
My research is focused on molecular basis of hormonal regulation of plants (Arabidopsis and barley) abiotic stress adaptation with the emphasis on ABA signaling and drought response. Mostly I employ methods of genetics, functional genomics, agrigenomics, physiological analyses and bioinformatics in examination the role and mechanism of action of certain genes in plants response to adverse environmental conditions

IWONA SZAREJKO, PhD, DSc, Prof
FULL PROFESSOR
Outstanding scientist, authority in the field of plant genetics, specialist in the field of genetic analysis of crops, dealing with the identification of genes encoding economically important traits, coordinator of national and international research projects, respected academic teacher and organizer of scientific research.
DAMIAN GRUSZKA, PhD, DSc
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
My research is focused on identification of genes encoding enzymes involved in brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthesis and signaling in barley. Functional analysis of these genes is performed through isolation and characterization of barley mutants defective in the brassinosteroid metabolism and showing reduced plant height. Physiological reaction of the semi-dwarf barley BR mutants, deficient in the brassinosteroid biosynthesis or signaling, to drought stress and other environmental stresses is also analyzed. The research is conducted in cooperation with several European institutions

MONIKA GAJECKA, PHD
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
I am studying the genetic regulation of androgenic embryo development and regeneration of plants in isolated microspore culture with special emphasis on the genotype-dependent induction of microspore embryogenesis and regeneration of green plants.
MIRIAM SZURMAN-ZUBRZYCKA, PHD
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
I am studying the response of plants to various genotoxic agents. Many environmental factors are causing DNA damages (like drought, UV-light, aluminum – Al) and my special emphasis is Al-response mechanisms in context of DDR (DNA Damage Response) pathway.

MARZENA KUROWSKA, PHD
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
In my research I try to understand response plants to environmental stresses on molecular level with special emphasis on the jasmonates biosynthesis and signaling pathway, an action of HvSNAC1 (Stress responsive NAC1) transcription factor as well as function of aquaporins in maintaining cell homeostasis.
JUSTYNA GUZY-WROBELSKA, PHD
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR (educator)
I am the person responsible for planning and coordination of didactics and teaching processes in the group of Plant Genetics and Functional Genomics. In my teaching area, I am focused on improving my didactic competencies and skills and the implementation of modern, attractive tools to higher education.
ANNA COLLIN, PHD
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
I am studying the role of transcription factors within the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway. My special emphasis is to characterize ABI5 function at both molecular and physiological levels during barley response to drought.
EWA SYBILSKA
PHD CANDIDATE
I am studying the role of cap-binding complex (CBC) in response to abscisic acid (ABA) during seed germination in barley (Hordeum vulgare). My special emphasis is to explain the molecular mechanisms and indicate signaling pathways in which the CBC complex is involved.
