Zuzanna Iwoń MSc Eng.

She received an MSc Eng in Biotechnology from Warsaw University of Technology in 2020. Now she is a PhD student and realizes work in the title “Regenerative properties of stem cells in various cardiac hypoxia models.” Her main research interest is the application of regenerative medicine using stem cells and tissue engineering. She is carrying out her PhD study at the Faculty of Chemistry of the Warsaw University of Technology, at the M. Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and at CEZAMAT of the Warsaw University of Technology. Since 2020 employed as a contractor in the SONATA BIS 9 NCN project. In 2024, an applicant and principal researcher in IDUB YOUNG II with the title “Differentiation and maturation of cardiomyocytes and cardiac organoids derived from induced pluripotent stem cells in a microsystem under flow and static conditions.”
