Jakub Sawicki

Jakub Sawicki, a Professor at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, is affiliated with the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology and the Department of Botany and Nature Conservation. His research focuses on plant genetics, particularly the genomic and molecular mechanisms in bryophytes.

• Specializes in genomic adaptation of liverworts to aquatic habitats
• Investigates sex determination mechanisms in thallose liverworts
• Utilizes organellar genome sequencing and DNA barcoding for species discrimination
• Secured funding via the OPUS Project for genomic research

His work emphasizes evolutionary biology and conservation genetics, leveraging advanced sequencing techniques to address cryptic speciation and adaptive traits in endangered plant species.
