Hi,
my name is

Patrycja Jakubek-Olszewska

and I use biochemical and molecular approaches to investigate cellular mechanisms underlying disease, with a particular focus on redox homeostasis, autophagy, and mitochondrial function.

Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology PAS, where my research focuses on oxidative stress and cellular dysfunction in PACS2-related disease, an ultra-rare genetic disorder.

My research experience includes the investigation of natural and dietary bioactive compounds and their effects on cellular and metabolic processes, using both in vitro and in vivo experimental models. My work has involved studying their potential to modulate redox homeostasis, autophagy, mitochondrial function, and metabolic health, as well as interpreting complex experimental data to understand underlying molecular mechanisms.

My work also involves critical evaluation of scientific literature, data interpretation, and communicating complex biomedical concepts in a clear, structured, and evidence-based manner. I am particularly interested in translating complex scientific knowledge into accessible and well-organized content tailored to different audiences.
