Associate Professor
Anna is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Bioanalitics at the Medical University of Lublin. She obtained the degree of habilitated doctor in chemical sciences from the Faculty of Chemistry at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. As a pre‐doctoral Marie Curie Fellow, she had an opportunity to expand her knowledge and experience working at the University of Leeds, UK. Her fields of interest involve analytical chemistry with an emphasis on the applications of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry in biomedical, pharmaceutical, environmental and food sciences. Her research interests particularly focus on proteomics in food authenticity testing. She is a recipient of the Chairman of the Lublin Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences Award for the best scientific paper by young researchers in the Lublin region in 2020 and 2021. She is a co-inventor of three patents.
Assistant Professor
Agata is a researcher at the Medical University of Lublin, Department of Dietetics and Bioanalytics. She holds a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the Medical University of Lublin (2023) and a Master’s degree in Biotechnology (2018) from John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. Her research focuses on peptidomics and metabolomics, utilizing mass spectrometry-based analysis, with a particular emphasis on the identification and authentication of food products. She was the principal investigator of a young researchers’ grant at the Medical University of Lublin. Agata has also been involved in research projects funded by the National Science Centre and The National Centre for Research and Development. She has gained international experience through a Short-Term Scientific Visit at the University of Bergen, Norway.
Assistant Professor
Adrian, holding a degree of Medical Doctor, currently works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioanalytics at the Medical University of Lublin. He obtained his Ph.D. degree at the Medical Faculty of the Medical University of Lodz, where he studied free fatty acid receptors as a pharmacological target in inflammatory bowel diseases. In 2020, he received the “Diamond Grant'” which he is currently implementing in the Department of Bioanalytics at the Medical University of Lublin. As a part of the grant, he conducts metabolomics and proteomics studies based on liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry to assess the effects induced by caffeine and topiramate, and their mutual interactions, in a model of pententrazol-induced seizures in zebrafish larvae. Adrian is also a multiple winner of the Minister of Health scholarship programme. He completed the Polish Clinical Scholars Research Training organized by Harvard Medical School.
Post-doc
Hanna is a chemist specializing in bioactive compound research and advanced analytical techniques. She earned her Ph.D. from Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin in 2023, where her research focused on profiling crude plant extracts to identify bioactive compounds with enzyme inhibition, antibacterial, antioxidant and endocrine activities using HPTLC-based assays and MS techniques to elucidate their structure. Currently, she is employed as a researcher, working on LC-MS-based lipidomics and metabolomics. Recently, Hanna secured a grant to investigate the interactions between dietary flavonoids and proteins in relation to dementia treatment. Her research interests lie in discovering treatments and preventive measures for modern diseases to prioritize human health and well-being.
Assistant Professor
Kacper earned his M.Sc. in Forensic Chemistry from Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin in 2017, followed by a Ph.D. in 2023. He completed a research internship at INESC-MN in Portugal in 2017 and held a postdoctoral position at the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin (USA) in 2024, where he expanded his expertise in the chemical composition of air measurements under the supervision of Prof. Pawel K. Misztal. Currently, Kacper is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Biomedicine, Medical University of Lublin. His research interests encompass thin-film formation/deposition and solid surface characterization, drug interactions with model membranes, biocompatibility studies, and food analysis using chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques.
Assistant Professor

He participated in internships at Stockholm University, the University of Pisa, and the University of Naples. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioanalytics. Dr. Kalisz's research encompasses various domains, including biomaterials, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, omics and data science. His latest work encompasses zebrafish larvae disease modelling and secondary prevention. DIY and bike enthusiast, member of The International Society for Clinical Spectroscopy, Polish Cardiac Society and Polish Zebrafish Society.
Ph.D. student
Anna is a Ph.D. student. She holds a M.Sc. degree in medical analytics conferred by the Medical University of Lublin. During the preparation of her thesis, she gained experience in working with liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, implementing studies on the determination of drugs and metabolites from a matrix. Her research interests focus on food chemical composition analysis and adulteration detection using LC/MS methods.
Junior Technical Specialist
Alicja holds a M.Sc. degree in biotechnology, having graduated from the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. Her research interests focus on metabolomics and proteomics: food authenticity testing and adulteration detections, and in particular on detecting new heat stable specific peptides markers for various commonly-consumed animal species, using LC/MS methods.
Technician
Klaudia is at the beginning of her research and scientific path. In 2022, she defended her M.Sc. thesis in biotechnology at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin.
