Agnieszka Kloch, PhD
PI (or so they say)
My research interests are incessantly evolving, nonetheless, I keep attached to the evolutionary and ecological role of pathogens and the application of molecular methods in ecology.
Outside science, I like cats of any size, I befriend crows, and I enjoy biking. I used to do martial arts.
Dawid Sadkowski
PhD student
Dawid is an aspiring bioinformatician. He studies structural variants associated with climate adaptations in voles. He is a passionate ornithologist with an interest in owls.
Victoria Iretoluwani Ayansola
PhD student
Victoria is interested in ecology, conservation, genetics, and diseases in wildlife. Her PhD projects involves monitoring of pathogens in synanthropic rodents using metabarcoding.
Abosede Eniola Olarewaju
PhD student
Abosede is interested in wildlife conservation. Her thesis focuses on the genetic variance of rodent parasites and their nematodes over a large geographic scale.
Ania Smolińska
PhD student
Ania loves flying mammals. For her MSc, she studied sugar gliders, and now she uses metabarcoding for the detection of pathogens in synanthropic bats.
Malwina Karaśkiewicz
MSc student
Malwina studies variation of TRPM8 gene, cold and menthol receptor 1 in voles from various latitudes.
Karolina Palka
MSc student
Karolina studies viruses in bats. She has passion for animals, particularly their behavior, lifestyle and psychology. This interest extends to molecular biology, with a focus on genetics and its promising future potential.
