Recognition for Our Doctoral Student at the Prestigious AAAS Conference in the USA
From among all PhD students participating in the event, Jakub was awarded an honourable mention for presenting his scientific poster entitled “Deep Dive into Macrophages’ Role in Regenerative Response to Zebrafish Spine Injury” in the category of developmental biology, genetics, and immunology. The recognition, along with Gdańsk University of Technology’s affiliation, was noted in the April issue of Science.
- This is a truly exceptional recognition of my work as a researcher - says Jakub Baczyński-Keller. - While scientific articles are often the result of years of teamwork, this conference honour for an individual presentation is a personal acknowledgement of my efforts — it shows that I’m doing something right. Moreover, standing shoulder to shoulder with doctoral students from institutions like Harvard, Stanford, or MIT was an incredible experience in itself.
