معرفی
Dr. Anna Karłowicz is an Assistant Professor at the Intercollegiate Faculty of Biotechnology affiliated with both the University of Gdańsk and the Medical University of Gdańsk (MUG). She holds a position in the Department of Structural Biology within the Institute of Biotechnology at the University of Gdańsk. Her research focuses on molecular mechanisms of DNA repair, enzymology, and mitochondrial biology, with particular attention to mitochondrial DNA maintenance and repair processes. Key enzymes studied include EXOG exonuclease and Lon protease, with implications for understanding genetic disorders and cellular integrity.
Her research interests revolve around the functional analysis of enzymes critical to nucleic acid metabolism, including their roles in mitochondrial dysfunction and human genetic diseases. Recent work has explored EXOG’s role in removing single-stranded DNA flaps and RNA primers, as well as the structural basis of bacterial Lon protease interactions with DNA substrates.
Publications from 2016–2025 demonstrate a progression from bacterial proteolysis studies to human mitochondrial disorders, reflecting a focus on translational research linking enzymatic mechanisms to clinical manifestations. No scientific awards are explicitly listed in the provided profile.
Dr. Karłowicz’s advising and grant activities are not detailed here, though her affiliations suggest involvement in interdisciplinary biotechnology research. She is part of the Structural Biology department, contributing to studies at the intersection of biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology.
