History

Department of Medical Biotechnology was established as a separate unit in June 2005. Our main field of research is vascular biology, with particular interest in molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, inflammation and oxidative stress. We are also interested in tumor cell biology. In our lab we investigate gene and cell therapy approaches to treat vascular disorders.

  • 6^th European Meeting for Vascular Biology & Medicine, 21-24 September 2011, Krakow, Poland www
  • The 5^th International Congress Heme Oxygenases 2007
  • Two editions of Winter Schools of the Department of Medical Biotechnology FBBB, in Rytro, Poland, 26-28 February 2016 and 4^th - 6^th February 2011
    
    The New Methods in Medical Biotechnology is a Workshop organized by the Department of Medical Biotechnology, Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology of the Jagiellonian University. The idea appeared as a result of a strong interest of the Department of Medical Biotechnology in basic and translational science in cardiovascular and cancer research.
    
    The meeting took place twice in “Perła Południa” Hotel in Rytro. In every Workshop took part almost 50 participants from our Department and our guests from Poland and abroad. It was a great occasion to spend some time together discussing about science and not only.
