Małgorzata Brzóska

Małgorzata Brzóska is a Professor in the Department of Toxicology at the Medical University of Bialystok, affiliated with the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Division of Laboratory Medicine. Her research focuses on the toxic effects of heavy metals such as cadmium, particularly their impact on the nervous system, kidneys, and other organs. She investigates protective mechanisms using natural compounds like Aronia melanocarpa extracts and antioxidants. Her work also addresses environmental exposure risks in human populations, emphasizing oxidative stress mitigation and biomarker identification for conditions like obstructive sleep apnea.

Research Interests

Her key areas include cadmium toxicity, environmental health risks, neuroprotection, nephroprotection, and the application of plant extracts (e.g., Aronia melanocarpa) as therapeutic agents. She explores biomarkers for sleep disorders and evaluates the role of trace elements like zinc and manganese in mitigating heavy metal damage.

Publications & Trends

Her recent work highlights cadmium’s effects on multiple organ systems, emphasizing the protective role of dietary supplements and phytochemicals. Studies often employ in vivo models and clinical data to bridge environmental exposure risks with molecular mechanisms. Her reviews synthesize global cadmium exposure trends and their implications for public health.

Achievements & Grants

While specific awards or grants are not detailed, her extensive publication record reflects sustained research impact. Collaborations include studies on paraben safety in cosmetics and UV-induced oxidative stress in skin tissues.
