Dr. Patrycja Baranowska is a researcher at the CEZAMAT, Warsaw University of Technology, specializing in biomedical engineering and microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems. Her main research focuses on developing microfluidic platforms for studying pancreatic cancer (PDAC), including interactions of PDAC with other diseases and the analysis of PDAC circulating tumor cells (CTCs). In addition, she works on designing advanced biological models for organ-on-a-chip applications, particularly three-dimensional pancreatic islet models (islet-on-a-chip). Her research encompasses studying cell interactions under dynamic flow conditions, disease modeling (such as cancer and diabetes), and developing new methods for drug testing and therapy evaluation. She is the author and co-author of numerous peer-reviewed publications, co-inventor of patents on microfluidic systems. Dr. Baranowska has acted as principal investigator and participant in several research projects, including IDUB, PRELUDIUM 17, SONATA, SONATA BIS, FENG NCBR and LIDER grants, focusing on organ-on-a-chip applications. She has also completed postdoctoral research stays at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in Barcelona, Spain, and at the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (QB3), University of California, Berkeley, USA. Her achievements have been recognized with multiple awards, including the Prime Minister’s Award for an outstanding doctoral dissertation and the START Scholarship from the Foundation for Polish Science.
