Adam Krysztofiak is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Department of Therapeutic Radiology. He holds a PhD in Cancer and Radiation Biology from the University of Duisburg-Essen (2019) and an MSc in Pharmacy from Poznan University of Medical Sciences (2015).
- Research Focus: DNA damage and repair, radiation oncology, cancer cell biology, molecular biology, and cancer metabolism.
His research spans computational biology, drug metabolism, and radiation biology, with a particular emphasis on DNA repair dynamics, mitochondrial response to irradiation, and therapeutic strategies targeting tumor metabolism. He has contributed to 15 high-impact publications, including studies on:
- Proton Therapy: Mechanisms of DNA repair foci formation and Akt1 phosphorylation.
- Cancer Metabolism: Mitochondrial shutdown post-irradiation.
- Drug Development: Cell-penetrating antibodies and HDAC inhibition in IDH1-mutant cancers.
Adam is part of the Rogers Lab at Yale, utilizing tools like The Focinator v2.0 for advanced image analysis. His work is supported by grants from YCC and focuses on integrating interdisciplinary approaches in systems immunology and radiobiology.
