About me
- I graduated with a Master’s of Pharmacy degree from the Medical University of Warsaw, Poland. Next, I did my PhD as a Marie Curie Fellow with Prof. Nicholas M. Barnes at the University of Birmingham and Celentyx Ltd., UK (immunological and neuropharmacological studies on therapeutical drugs and targets, including orphan G protein-coupled receptors, GPCRs).
I had my first post-doctoral stay in the lab of Prof. Agnieszka Chacinska at the IIMCB, Warsaw, Poland (protein biogenesis in synaptoneurosomes). In August 2017, I joined Prof. Gunnar Schulte's lab for my second post-doc (pharmacology of class F Frizzleds GPCRs).
In February 2022, I received a Higher doctorate in medical sciences from the Medical University of Lublin, Poland.
I am currently setting up my independent line of research, please see www.kozielewicz.com
Research
- In my post-doctoral research in the Schulte lab, I focused on exploring the pharmacology of class F (Frizzleds) GPCRs by employing structural-functional analysis. It can be argued that, given certain ambiguities which exist about the molecular mechanism of action of these proteins, Frizzleds are similar to another class of the seven transmembrane-spanning receptors: orphan GPCRs. As such, in my prospective research, I will investigate the role of orphan GPCRs in health and diseases. For several diseases, some previous findings about a few orphan GPCRs have not been followed up by more thorough reports. Hence, the precise nature of orphan GPCRs' signalling and its association with a diseased state at a molecular level remain largely unknown. I aim to address these gaps in knowledge to push novel opportunities for therapies.
