Kacper Łukasiewicz

Kacper Łukasiewicz serves as an Assistant at the Experimental Medicine Center of Medical University of Bialystok, with dual affiliation at the Department of Psychiatry. His academic work is entirely within medical sciences, demonstrating strong integration between basic neuroscience research and psychiatric applications.

Dr. Łukasiewicz's research program focuses on neurobiological mechanisms using sophisticated animal models and imaging techniques. His primary investigation areas include:

• Neuronal plasticity and dendritic spine dynamics in hippocampal circuits
• Sex-specific behavioral responses using mouse models
• Aging processes and their neurological implications
• Disease modeling for psychiatric conditions
• Calcium signaling and synaptic function through fluorescence microscopy
• Transgenic approaches to studying brain development

His laboratory work heavily employs advanced microscopy techniques to visualize cellular processes in real time, enabling detailed examination of brain function across developmental stages from infant to aging models. This methodological expertise supports his investigations into how neuronal networks adapt in different physiological and pathological states.

With 18 publications accumulating a total impact factor of 90.97 and h-index of 8 (consistent across Scopus and Web of Science), Dr. Łukasiewicz has established meaningful scholarly contributions. His work has earned a MEiN score of 1,715, reflecting significant impact within Poland's academic evaluation system for medical sciences research.
