START Fellowship for Paulina Kamińska
Our PhD student Paulina Kamińska has been selected as a laureate of the 2025 START program, a prestigious fellowship awarded by the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP) to the most promising young researchers in Poland. She has also received the Wacław Szybalski Distinction, granted to the highest-ranked laureate in the field of life sciences. ​
Distinction in the Jerzy Konorski prize for 2024 was awarded to our paper on the role of SorLA in glioma-associated microglia and macrophages.
​
The Jerzy Konorski award recognizes the best Polish publications in the field of neurobiology.
