Doctoral student on melanoma research

This year’s summer is providing us with many hot, sunny days, so it is often difficult to avoid exposing the skin to UV radiation. For the human body, this carries serious risks. The work and research of Ewa Mazurkiewicz, a doctoral student at the Faculty of Biotechnology of the UWr, who works in the Department of Cell Pathology on the sun’s extremely dangerous ally, melanoma, which is responsible for 75 percent of skin cancer deaths, is precisely related to them.

In an interview with the e-legnickie.pl portal, a Chojnów-born scientist from the University of Wrocław talked about her scientific path, her research, the search for methods to fight melanoma, as well as prevention associated with this cancer.
