Artur Turek

Artur Turek is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biopharmacy, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Sosnowiec, Medical University of Silesia. His research focuses on drug delivery systems, polymer technology, and biomedical materials, particularly involving shape-memory polymers, collagen-based applications, and nanotechnology. He holds a Doctorate (2006), Master of Science (1999), and Bachelor of Science (2022).

Key research interests include: polymer-based drug carriers, characterization of biomaterials (e.g., pericardium, fibrin), and therapeutic applications of hormones like 17-β-estradiol. He has published 101 papers, supervised 12 promoted theses, and secured 1 patent for a biodegradable drug delivery system.

His work spans interdisciplinary fields such as pharmacology, materials science, and regenerative medicine. Notable projects include developing shape-memory rods for antipsychotic and neuroprotective drug delivery, analyzing intervertebral disc degeneration biomarkers, and investigating fibrin scaffolds for tissue engineering.
