Małgorzata Bożek

Małgorzata Bożek, PhD, is an Assistant Professor (adiunkt badawczo-dydaktyczny) at the Medical University of Silesia, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Sosnowiec, based in the Department and Chair of Basic Biomedical Sciences. She earned her doctoral degree in 2010 and has since built a research portfolio comprising 51 publications and an h-index of 2–4 across major citation databases. Her scientific focus lies at the intersection of pharmacology, gastroenterology, and analytical chemistry, with particular emphasis on the development and validation of non-invasive breath tests using carbon isotopes to assess pancreatic exocrine function and gastric emptying.

Research interests:

• Pharmacology & pharmacy sciences
• Gastroenterology and digestive physiology
• Non-invasive diagnostic techniques (breath tests)
• Stable-isotope methodologies and carbon-13 applications
• Reproducibility and validation of biomedical measurements

Across her 51 indexed publications, Dr Bożek has explored reproducibility of breath-test protocols, gender-related differences in gastric emptying, and the impact of dietary factors such as beer on pancreatic enzyme activity. These works collectively advance the evidence base for clinical diagnostics in gastroenterology and pharmaceutical sciences.
