Dawid Dzadz, MSc
PhD student
I graduated from the University of Warsaw with a Bachelor (2022) and Master's (2024) degrees in Biotechnology from the College of Inter-faculty Individual
Studies in Mathematics and Natural Sciences. In paralell, I earned another
Bachelor of Science (2023), this time in Chemistry. My biotechnology
diploma theses, conducted at the Laboratory of RNA Biology at the International
Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, explored the effects of non-canonical
poly(A) polymerases on mouse osteoblast mineralization. For my chemistry
degree, I joined the Go!RNA Structural Biology Group, where I investigated the
interactions between the FASTK protein and RNA.
My scientific interests encompass RNA metabolism in eukaryotic cells,
RNA-protein interactions, and protein structures. In the Go!RNA Structural
Biology Group, I collaborate with laboratories in Würzburg and Prague to study
the ALPH1 decapping enzyme in Kinetoplastida through structural analyses and
the characterization of its inhibitors, which hold potential as therapeutic drugs.
I also investigate the potential applications of this enzyme in biotechnology.
I am fascinated by science and enjoy communicating it to the general public. In
my personal time, I am an avid PC gamer and a passionate fan of Asian cuisine,
both cooking and enjoying it.
