Iwona Bogacka

Iwona Bogacka is a Professor at the Department of Animal Anatomy and Physiology, Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. Her research primarily focuses on reproductive endocrinology and animal physiology, with recent emphasis on the impact of environmental pollutants like dietary microplastics on ovarian transcriptomics and proteomics in pigs.

• Key research areas: Reproductive endocrinology, environmental pollution effects, molecular biology techniques, and metabolic/inflammatory responses in porcine models.

Her recent publications analyze the molecular mechanisms of PET microplastics in inducing oxidative stress and immune responses in piglets, along with PPAR ligand interactions in endometrial and luteal inflammation. She supervises 2 doctoral students and promotes interdisciplinary projects requiring specialized laboratory infrastructure.
