Who am I?
I'm Tomasz Kasperski, a microbiologist and biotechnologist specializing in bacteriophages and antimicrobial resistance.
I am currently pursuing my PhD at the Doctoral School of Medical Sciences at Jagiellonian University Medical College. My research focuses on the molecular characterization of bacteria, bacteriophages, and their applications in combating multidrug-resistant infections.
Throughout my career, I have been involved in leading and collaborating on various research projects, from developing innovative phage-based antimicrobial treatments to conducting whole genome sequencing of Acinetobacter baumannii. My work has been presented at international conferences, and I have contributed to several peer-reviewed publications on microbiology, bacteriophages, and antibiotic resistance.
I am passionate about translating scientific discoveries into real-world solutions, and I am actively engaged in mentoring students, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to advance the field of microbiology.
