معرفی
Aneta Szymańska is a Professor at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Gdańsk, specializing in the Department of Biomedical Chemistry. Her research focuses on peptide and protein chemistry, particularly those with amyloidogenic potential such as beta-amyloid peptides and human cystatin C, which are central to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. She also explores the influence of gut microbiota, diet, and lifestyle on brain function.

Research Interests:
Aneta Szymańska’s work centers on understanding the mechanisms and factors that drive essential proteins toward aggregation, leading to pathologies such as amyloidosis. She investigates metal ion interactions (e.g., Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺) with proteins, peptide design and synthesis, and biophysical methods like NMR and crystallography. Her studies also include membrane mimetics and surfactant effects on protein conformational changes.
Article Trends:
Her recent publications emphasize multidisciplinary approaches to amyloidogenic proteins, metal binding, and peptide-based therapeutic strategies. Key themes include NMR and crystallographic structural analysis, biomaterial design for tissue engineering, and inhibitors of TNF-TNFR2 interactions in cancer immunotherapy. She also explores melatonin’s neuroprotective role and bacteriophage protein applications in biotechnology.
