Maciej Woźny

Prof. Maciej Woźny is a faculty member at the Faculty of Geoengineering, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn (UWM), where he serves as a Professor in the Department of Biotechnology in Environmental Protection. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms of fish responses to environmental pollutants, including mycotoxins, cyanobacterial toxins, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

• Education: Postdoctoral degree in agricultural sciences (veterinary medicine)

His interdisciplinary work combines Environmental Toxicology, Aquatic Biology, and Molecular Biology, emphasizing microRNA regulation and stress response in fish species like Coregonus lavaretus and Oncorhynchus mykiss. Recent studies explore miRNA delivery systems, pollutant-induced gene expression changes, and neurotoxicity mechanisms.

Key article trends include miRNA profiling, toxin biochemistry, and environmental pollutant effects on aquatic organisms. His affiliation with UWM’s Faculty of Geoengineering underscores institutional integration of environmental science and biotechnology.
