Katarzyna Targowska-Duda

Katarzyna Targowska-Duda is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biopharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Medical University of Lublin. She holds a PharmD, PhD, and DSc, with a research career focused on pharmacology and pharmacy, particularly in the area of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and molecular interactions of drugs.

Her research interests center on pharmacology and pharmacy, with specialization in neuropharmacology, in silico modeling, molecular docking, and drug-receptor interactions. Her work frequently involves computational simulations and animal models (especially mice) to study ligand binding, membrane protein behavior, and drug effects in the brain.

The documented publications reflect a consistent focus on receptor pharmacology, particularly nicotinic subtypes, using both theoretical and experimental approaches. Her research integrates structural biology, computational chemistry, and pharmacological validation.

Scientific Achievements:

• 160 publications
• 3 research projects
• 2 documented achievements
