Dr inż. Anna Drzazga of the Institute of Molecular and Industrial Biotechnology at the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences is carrying out a research project funded under the NCN Sonatina grant. The research focuses on the characterization of selected lipids available in the diet and those produced by intestinal commensal bacteria (eds. defend the host against pathogenic bacteria) as biologically active molecules capable of regulating carbohydrate metabolism, which could potentially be applied in the dietary prevention of diabetes.

Lodz University of Technology students keep an open mind and, as Rector of Lodz University of Technology professor Krzysztof Jóźwik likes to accentuate, it is important that their research ideas should meet the needs of industry. - Following the talks we had with Biotechnika, the time has come to sign a sponsorship agreement. It is a new approach, although the idea itself is somewhat similar to what used to be called an endowed scholarship. Working in partnership, the company and Lodz University of Technology provide new opportunities for capable students.
