The oldest, the biggest and the most important – that’s what “Archaeological Sensations 2024” is! And among them are papyri discovered in Egypt by our archaeologists as the “Największy skarb 2024” (eng. “Greatest Treasure of 2024”).

Seven Polish-Czech and two trilateral projects involving teams from the Czech Republic, Germany and Slovenia have been selected for funding in the Weave-UNISONO 2024 competition. Among them is a project by dr hab. Małgorzata Zakrzewska, prof. UWr at the Faculty of Biotechnology.

The January issue of Nature Communications published a paper showing how ribosomes (the translational machinery) change their position during the sporulation process in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. The research was carried out by a team of dr hab. Agata Starosta from the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in cooperation with scientists from our University’s Faculty of Biotechnology – dr Joanna Hołówka and prof. Jolanta Zakrzewska-Czerwińska.

The staff of the Faculty of Biological Sciences invites you to an open lecture by prof. Tomas Pinos Figueras, entitled: “Molecular insights into McArdle’s disease. Similarities and differences with other glycogen storage diseases and current therapeutic strategies.”

Stanford University and the Elsevier publishing house have published the next edition of the ranking of researchers with the greatest impact on the development of science in the world (the so-called TOP 2% list). Every year, more and more scientists from the University of Wrocław appear in the list.

More than 30 valuable archaeological sites, previously unknown cave paintings, fragments of pottery and stone tools have been identified by Polish archaeologists in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. This is the first Polish research at the site.
