Ewa P. Wojcikiewicz

Ewa P. Wojcikiewicz, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Science at Florida Atlantic University's Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine. She serves as Co-Director of the Lifelong Learning and Discovery Thread program.

• Education:
  • B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (1997, SUNY Albany)
  • Ph.D. in Physiology and Biophysics (2004, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine)

Research Interests focus on:

• Biophysical mechanisms of inflammatory leukocyte recruitment
• Nanomechanical changes in metastatic cancer progression
• Age-related mechanical properties of ocular accommodation apparatus
• Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) applications in cellular analysis

Scientific Contributions include studies on amyloid formation dynamics (Aβ40, Tau fragments), inflammation-mediated lymphocyte adhesion, and AFM-based mechanical characterization of biological systems. Her work intersects neurochemistry, cancer biophysics, and ocular biomechanics.
