Crew Exploration Scientist at the European Astronaut Centre (EAC) in Cologne, Germany. Her work is focused on health risk assessment of astronauts during exploration-class missions beyond Low Earth Orbit and coordination of ESA funded science experiments with the focus on radiation research and radiation protection. She studies the biological effects of space radiation environment on the human body, especially in the context of individual sensitivity to ionising radiation. Before she joined EAC, she was working at the Faculty of Biology, University of Warsaw and the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences. Her research was focused on the influence of changing environmental conditions on cellular genetic networks. She obtained her PhD in Biology at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland. Earlier she worked at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, where she participated in the project: "Complex Processes: Modelling, Simulation and Optimization". She graduated both: University of Warsaw and University of Wroclaw.
