Patrycja Kaczara obtained her PhD in 2012 at the Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology of the Jagiellonian University, and passed habilitation proceeding in a discipline of biology in 2022 at Jagiellonian University. Since 2013, she has worked at the Jagiellonian Centre for Experimental Therapeutics (JCET), where she has been a head of the Laboratory of EPR Spectroscopy. Her scientific interests are focused on cellular energy metabolism. She completed short internships at several scientific institutions abroad: Medical College of Wisconsin (Milwaukee, USA; 2010), INSERM – Faculty of Medicine (Creteil, France; 2014) and University College London (London, Great Britain; 2015), where she studied oxidative stress and energy metabolism in in vitro cells. She was a principal investigator in a project awarded by the National Science Centre in Poland (SONATA 3) and currently she leads OPUS 21 entitled: “Normalization of energy metabolism as a way to develop innovative antithrombotic therapies” carried out in JCET (2022 – 2025).
