Robert Czajkowski

Robert Czajkowski is a Professor at the University of Gdańsk's Intercollegiate Faculty of Biotechnology, affiliated with the Department of Biologically Active Compounds. His research focuses on plant-microbe interactions, bacteriophage applications, and developing sustainable solutions for plant disease management.

His work investigates microbial competition mechanisms, particularly tailocin-mediated interactions among Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae pathogens. Research emphasizes bacteriophage-based biocontrol strategies and plant resistance elicitation against bacterial diseases affecting crops like potatoes.

Recent publications explore rhizosphere microbiome dynamics, genetic determinants of pathogenicity, and environmental stress responses in plant-pathogen systems. His work has implications for sustainable agriculture and climate-resilient crop protection.
