Jacek Piosik

Jacek Piosik is a Professor at the University of Gdańsk, affiliated with the Intercollegiate Faculty of Biotechnology (shared with Medical University of Gdańsk) and the Institute of Biotechnology. His research focuses on biophysics, biochemistry, and nanotechnology, particularly interactions between C60 fullerene, methylxanthines (e.g., caffeine), and anticancer drugs.

• Key Research Themes: Non-covalent drug-DNA interactions, nanoparticle-mediated modulation of mutagenic/anticancer agents, oxidative stress in neurological/muscle models, thermodynamic modeling of ligand aggregation.
• Recent Publications (2023-2019): Explored C60 fullerene's effects on muscle contraction dynamics, DNA-binding mutagen inhibition, and anticancer drug delivery systems. Collaborative work spans nanomedicine, pharmacology, and molecular biology.
