Ewa Rybak MSc Eng.

In 2018, she graduated with a specialization in Biomedical Engineering from the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology. Currently, she is completing her research as a participant in the doctoral program at the same faculty, focusing on the development of biocompatible polymer nanoparticles by nanoprecipitation, with a particular emphasis on using microfluidic systems. She has participated in five scientific research projects, and in 2024, was recognized by the Dean of the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering for her outstanding scientific achievements.

Current research encompasses the study of magnetic materials, study of metabolic activity of cells of various types in contact with biomaterials, and research including stem cells.

• developing biocompatible polymer nanoparticles to be used as drug carriers or diagnostic systems
• modifying the surfaces of steel and polymer materials for biomedical applications
• conducting in vitro biocompatibility testing, including cytotoxicity tests and immunofluorescence staining
• characterizing biomaterials using techniques such as DLS, FTIR, optical and fluorescence microscopy
