Karolina Jakubczyk

Karolina Jakubczyk is a Professor at the Department of Human Nutrition and Metabolomics, Faculty of Health Sciences, Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin. Her research focuses on nutritional science, functional foods, and the biochemical mechanisms underlying antioxidant activity in plant-based products.

Her work spans topics like the health impacts of kombucha, matcha tea, spirulina, and edible flowers, with a strong emphasis on phytochemical analysis, oxidative stress modulation, and food safety. She has published 150+ articles, contributed to 1 doctoral thesis, and conducted research on topics ranging from vitamin D metabolism in cardiac patients to the influence of cultivation methods on tea quality.

• Key Research Areas: Antioxidant mechanisms, functional food development, dietary interventions for metabolic disorders, and microbiological safety of fermented foods.
• Notable Projects: Analysis of fluoride content in dietary supplements, optimization of extraction techniques for bioactive compounds, and gut microbiome studies in liver disease patients.

Her articles highlight trends in understanding how environmental factors (e.g., light exposure, fermentation processes) affect nutrient profiles and bioactivity. She has also examined the clinical relevance of gut microbiota alterations caused by medications.

Awards: No specific prizes listed, though her extensive publication record reflects sustained scholarly impact. She has advised one doctoral student and contributed to research projects involving over 6,674 ministry points.

Labs/Teams: Active in the Department of Human Nutrition and Metabolomics laboratory, collaborating on metabolomics and nutritional profiling studies.
