Dr hab. Grzegorz Tylko, prof. UJ

Apoptosis and autophagy processes in differentiating somatic stem cells, polymeric biomaterials and their application in tissue regeneration; Monte Carlo simulations in microarray analysis.

Dr Jolanta Górska-Andrzejak

The development and circadian plasticity of the visual system in Drosophila melanogaster, the role of glial cells (glial clocks) in circadian rhythms, and the effect of acrylamide on circadian rhythms and the biological clock.
