Colorants accompany us in clothing, cosmetics, and food, but they are rarely associated with extreme living conditions. Meanwhile, some of the most promising pigments are produced by microorganisms that thrive at high temperatures. Thermophiles produce compounds with intense colors, remarkable stability, and potential health benefits—and they may help reduce the industry’s dependence on synthetic, petroleum-based dyes. Could these “heat-loving” microorganisms become the answer to the ecological challenges of modern production? This is the goal pursued by Zuzanna Jachowicz, who, within the E2Top program, studied the carotenoid composition of selected thermophilic microorganisms.

Treatment of knee ligament injuries may soon become faster, more accurate, and completely painless. As part of the NCBR LIDER program, Katarzyna Piasecka, PhD from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is developing a non-invasive diagnostic system. Thanks to its precision—at a level expected by specialists—it has the potential to revolutionize how knee joint damage is detected.
