Dariusz Pawlak

Prof. Dariusz Pawlak is a Professor in the Department of Pharmacodynamics at the Medical University of Bialystok, affiliated with the Faculty of Pharmacy and Division of Laboratory Medicine. His research focuses on pharmacology, toxicology, metabolic disorders, renal physiology, cardiovascular diseases, and immunology. He has published extensively on topics such as kynurenine pathway metabolites, biomarkers in chronic diseases, and drug therapies in cancer and cardiovascular conditions.

Key research interests include investigating metabolic pathways in depression, cancer biomarkers, and the role of kynurenines in heart failure and psoriasis. He leads studies using translational platforms to develop anticancer therapies and evaluates long-term outcomes of cardiovascular interventions through registries like KORONEF. His work bridges clinical and experimental medicine, with a focus on pharmacological mechanisms and disease biomarkers.

Recent publications highlight his expertise in drug combinations (e.g., low-dose naltrexone in cancer), metabolic effects of probiotics, and the impact of chronic kidney disease on cardiovascular outcomes. Collaborations span cardiology, nephrology, and oncology, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to translational research.
