About

I am in my first year of a Master of Science majoring in Chemistry. There I work on design and development new and ”green” organometallic catalysts for pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis. I aim to pursue my career in pharmaceutical industry where I believe combination of chemistry, synthetic biology and pure engineering would make the Earth to be a better place to treat diseases.

To appeal to my ”bio” side, I decided to participate in iGEM project where I could gain an outstanding knowledge in how life under the microscope (and even deeper!) works and try to fill the gap between synthetic biology and chemistry.

My previous background is Engineer’s Degree in Industrial Pharmacy, therefore to satisfy my ”engineering” side, I contribute to this project with developing and assembling a filter along with maintaining sensors and final testing of the whole system.

In normal life, I work as a tutor in chemistry and as mechanical engineer. So I truly hope, that all the experience I possess and awesome people I met will make me a better person to be.
