Szymon Świeżewski, PhD

PI

I am interested in how plants utilise antisense transcription to regulate key developmental transitions. Since 2009 I am studying seed dormancy regulation.

Krzysztof Kokoszka, PhD

Lab manager

I did my PhD in Andrzej Jerzmanowski laboratory on histone H1. Since 2010 I am working as a lab manager supervising all the crazy people working in the lab. 
In free time I love cycling and gardening.

Julia Zinsmeister, PhD

Post-doc

Seed biology is key from both scientific and economic perspectives. I am working in Dr Swiezewski’s laboratory to contribute to a better understanding of the molecular regulation of seed dormancy, a key physiological seed trait that prevents germination despite favorable conditions.  The project has received funding from the European Union’s horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 101038075.

Ruslan Yatusevich, PhD

Post-doc

DOG1 is well known master regulator of seeds dormancy in plants and main subject of study in Swiezewski laboratory as a model gene.
My research interests are focused on understand epigenetic mechanisms related to antisense transcription regulation and hormonal signalling pathways as well as identification of novel transcriptional regulators involved in primary and secondary seed dormancy. The research project is supported by NCN OPUS grant (UMO-2018/31/B/NZ3/03363)This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

PhD student

My supervisor - Szymon Swiezewski teaches me at any time always trust yourself, keep thinking and to be brave, everything will develop from imperfection to perfection. In my eyes, the art of science is mostly like a dream, just imagine and it will be truly possible. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Miguel Coelho

PhD student

I decided to wrap my towel and leave the beach in Portugal to come straight to the Szym Lab to complete my MSc. Currently, as PhD student I feel like I've learned a lot, and yet much more I can learn here.
I'm deeply interested in gene expression regulation, chromatin remodelling, and finding where the hell did I put my towel cause I need some sun bathing!
