Robert obtained his doctorate at the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, where he investigated protein folding processes. After his doctorate, Robert worked at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, University of Helsinki (Finland) and the University of Leeds (England). He then further expanded his knowledge and experience in cloning, expression, purification as well as protein modification and analysis at the EMBL in Hamburg, BESSY in Berlin (Germany), University Hospital in Lund (Sweden) and the ESRF in Grenoble (France). He has participated in several projects related to production and structural analysis of proteins. He is a co-author of the project on commercial use of protein lattices in structural research. He is an awardee of the Pol-Postdoc II competition and was a member of the Crystallographic Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences from 2007-2010.

Jakub is a graduate of biotechnology from the Jagiellonian University. During his undergraduate studies he completed several international research internships (IGMM-Montpellier, CNIC-Madrid, A.I. Virtanen Institute-Kuopio). Jakub then relocated to Montpellier (France) for doctoral studies, where he discovered new functions of Twist oncogenes, demonstrating their protective properties during oxidative and hypoxic stress. He then continued research in the field of oxidative stress and its influence on mitotic arrest at the University of Dundee (UK). Throughout his research projects, Jakub gained general knowledge in the field of molecular and cell biology, developing particular expertise in the design of cell-based assays, production of viral vectors, gene expression analysis and live cell imaging.

Anna, is a microbiologist-geneticist, a graduate of the Faculty of Biological Sciences at the University of Wrocław. While still a graduate student, she completed an internship at the Catholic University of Louvain (Belgium), where she expanded her knowledge and skills in molecular biology and genetic engineering. During her doctorate, she studied the terpenoid pathway in flax and developed an effective method of epigenetic modulation of genetic activity in plants. At the same time, she was involved in several R&D projects and activities of the Linum Foundation for the therapeutic application of flax products. After graduation, she gained experience in clinical trials as their coordinator. The acquired skills are reflected in the certificates, incl. ​​real-time PCR techniques, laboratory quality management system (ISO/IEC 17025:2005) and clinical research.

Ewelina is a graduate of biotechnology at the University of Silesia in Katowice and she defended her doctorate at the Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Wrocław. During her studies, she investigated the processes related to programmed cell death, in particular the participation of Bcl-2 proteins in programmed death of cancer cells and the interactions between apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy in cells under oxidative stress. After her doctorate, she worked in pharmaceutical and medical device companies, where she was responsible for planning and implementing R&D projects, product development and clinical evaluation of medical devices. Ewelina successfully planned and coordinated the course and publication of the results of a medical experiment with the participation of patients, in which the operation of an innovative medical device for telemedicine was evaluated.

Niina obtained her doctorate at Karolinska Institute in Sweden in tumor biology. After post-doctoral studies, she worked at several biotech companies, like: Bioinvent International, Alligator Bioscience (Sweden) and Molecular Partners (Swtitzerland), mainly focusing on immuno-oncology and preclinical drug development. During her career, Niina has headed several departments and have taken part in the development of multiple I/O assets, like: BI-505, Mitazalizumab, ATOR-1015, ATOR-1017, ALG.APV-527, MP0310, MP0317, and MP420. Niina is a co-inventor and co-author of several patents and publications. After her last position in a start-up company in Belgium, Niina has focused on consultancy of preclinical drug development.
