prof. Seweryn
The dean of the newly created Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology of GUT is prof. Andrzej Seweryn, a recognized scientist in the field of mechanical engineering, who has so far been associated with the Białystok University of Technology throughout his career.

Prof. Andrzej Seweryn, PhD, DSc, Eng. was born on 9 November 1962 in Hajnówka. He is a graduate of the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology. He was awarded the title of doctor by the Scientific Council of IPPT PAS in 1992, and a postdoctoral degree at the Warsaw University of Technology in 1997. In 2004, he was awarded the title of professor of technical sciences by the President of the Republic of Poland.

Another license agreement was signed for an invention in the field of biotechnology created by scientists from Gdańsk University of Technology and Łódź University of Technology. It is a platform that enables the production of proteins based on the gene expression system in a selected yeast species adapted to growth at low temperatures. This unique solution can be used, among others in the production of biopharmaceuticals or enzymes operating at low temperatures, useful for the production of e.g. fragrances or washing agents that work in cold water.

- We have created a tool that allows the production of any protein theoretically. A gene from any organism can be introduced into the selected yeast. Of course, in practice it may turn out that not every protein can ultimately be produced in this way, but thanks to our solution, such attempts can be made - says PhD, DSc, Eng. Marta Wanarska, university professor from the Department of Molecular Biotechnology and Microbiology, Faculty of Chemistry, GUT.

Mateusz Daśko, Ph.D. Eng. is a laureate of the prestigious Maria Skłodowska-Curie scholarship

Daśko
Mateusz Daśko, Ph.D. Eng. from the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, won the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions competition and received a prestigious scholarship. As a result, for two years he will conduct research on the synthesis of new chemical compounds that may help in the selective degradation of proteins in cells and contribute to the creation of new drugs, including anti-cancer ones.

The project funded under the Horizon 2020 programme, entitled ‘Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of PROteolysis-TArgeting Chimeric (PROTAC) molecules as anticancer agents’ will be carried out as a 2-year stay at the CEU San Pablo University in Madrid.
