Our team



Our team consists of people with different educational backgrounds, who share a passion for discovering the mechanisms of the action of drugs. The subject of our preclinical research concerns the mechanism of action of psychoactive drugs, especially antidepressants and antipsychotics.

Research methods and models used in our Laboratory are very advanced, diverse, and constantly developed - from cell cultures to transgenic animals, from radioisotope techniques (saturation and competition analyses, receptor autoradiography) to studies of receptor protein interactions in the brain using the PLA technique, in situ hybridization, RT-PCR and miRNA measurements; basically it's hard to list them all.

Our strength is an excellent, well-coordinated, interdisciplinary, and closely cooperating team, which means that every new technique is easy for us.

  We have had an exceptional 5th CEBC congress in Krakow , in which our Laboratory actively participated both on the scientific front:  serving as chairpersons for the plenary lecture, which was delivered by the distinguished clinician-scientist Prof. Gustavo Turecki from McGill University in Montreal, Canada;  dr hab. Agata Faron-Górecka, prof. Gustavo Turecki, prof. Marta Dziedzicka-Wasylewska    serving as chairpersons of Session1: Blood-brain barrier dysfunction in CNS disoders , during which a lecture was given by Prof. Marta Dziedzicka-Wasylewska (IF PAN), dr hab. Agnieszka Chocyk (IF PAN), and dr hab. Barbara Błasiak (IFJ). we presented three posters during the poster session: Dr Joanna Solich, Dr Magdalena Kolasa, and Ms. Agata Korlatowicz.                                          On the organizational side, dr hab. Agata Faron-Górecka and dr Joanna Solich were responsible for abstracts and the folder.  It was a very impressive and enlightening experience!

XXI International Congress of the Polish Pharmacological Society

Dr. Joanna Solich represented our Laboratory at the International Congress of the Polish Pharmacological Society, which took place in Katowice on September 28-30, 2023 ( XXI International Congress of the Polish Pharmacological Society (zjazd-ptf.katowice.pl) ).  She delivered a great lecture on the role of the blood-brain barrier in stress. Congratulations!
