Jolanta Prywer

Professor Jolanta Prywer is a distinguished academic at the University of Lodz, leading the Biogenic Crystals Research Group. Her work bridges material science, biomineralization, and medical mineralogy, focusing on infectious urinary stones and related crystallization processes.

• Specializes in biogenic crystal formation
• Investigates pathological mineralization in urinary tracts
• Contributes to understanding crystal morphology evolution and nucleation mechanisms
• Active in interdisciplinary research connecting physics, chemistry, and medical science

Her research explores various aspects of crystal growth including:

• Physical and chemical properties of hydroxyapatite and carbonate apatite in infection contexts
• Role of metal ions like zinc in struvite formation
• Electromechanical properties of biogenic crystals
• Inhibition strategies using compounds like trisodium citrate and tetrasodium pyrophosphate
• Temperature effects on crystal structures
• Impact of nanosilver particles on crystallization dynamics
