Awards
Rector of the University of Warsaw's award for the series of publications published by our group
We are deeply honoured to receive this award for the series of papers published in 2024 and 2025.
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.
You can find the paper here.
