PROFIL PRACOWNIKA: Anita Ciesielska

I am a molecular microbiologist with 20 years of experience and a pioneer in the field of molecular biology of dermatophytes in Poland. My research has significantly expanded the understanding of these pathogenic fungi, which cause widespread infections in humans and animals. Leading interdisciplinary projects funded by SONATA and OPUS grants from the National Science Centre (NCN), I have directed studies that integrate advanced molecular techniques with functional genomics to address pressing challenges in medical and environmental microbiology. By combining innovative research with practical applications, I strive to tackle global challenges in health and sustainable development, establishing my work as a significant contribution to the field of mycology. I advance the discipline of microbiology, train young researchers, and promote innovation.
