University of Wroclaw

• Research
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Principal Investigator

  • Sep 2017 - Sep 2019

  Principal Investigator at University of Wroclaw in research project PRELUDIUM 12 financed by National Science Centre Poland: "Genetic tool for identification proteins regulating supercoiling- sensitive promoter of gene encoding topoisomerase I from Streptomyces coelicolor".

• PHD Student

  • Oct 2013 - Sep 2019

  My PhD project focused on DNA topology in model organism Streptomyces coelicolor. I mainly investigated cooperation of topoisomerase I (TopA) and other DNA binding proteins in maintaining proper DNA condensation.

• 200 - 300 Employee

• Short-term internship

  • Jun 2019 - Jun 2019

  In the Department of Molecular Microbiology I have learned several key techniques for working with Streptomyces. These techniques include the cultivation of Streptomyces and the preparation of spore samples for long-term storage and microscopic analysis (image acquisition and analysis using the ImageJ software). I prepared spore stocks of several different Streptomyces mutant strains (expected to be affected in the formation of regularly-sized spores) and used phase contrast microscopy to acquire images of these different spore stocks. I subsequently analysed these images using the ImageJ software and determined that some of Streptomyces mutant strains were clearly affected in making spores of equal size. I also obtained training in automated measurement of Streptomyces spores using the Coulter Counter Multisizer 4e. This devise allows the automated and highly quantitative measurement of particle sizes, such as spores produced by Streptomyces. I used the Coulter Counter to determine the spore size distribution of spore stocks and used this data to complement the results obtained from the microscopic image analyses of spores. Show less

McMaster University, Biology Department

• Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

• Short term fellowship

  • Jul 2017 - Aug 2017

  Prof. Marie Elliot and her research group has significant expertise in the area of RNA regulation in Streptomyces bacteria. During the fellowship in this laboratory I gained experience in RNA isolation, RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of RNA-seq results (using Rockhopper software and IGV browser).
