Małgorzata Miastkowska

Małgorzata Miastkowska serves as a Professor at the Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology within the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology at Tadeusz Kościuszko Cracow University of Technology, where she has been employed since 2014. Holding the academic title of dr hab. inż. (obtained in 2024), she represents a senior faculty member with significant expertise in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulation science.

Her educational credentials include:

• MSc Eng. in Light Organic Technology from Cracow University of Technology (2008)
• Dr. Eng. in Chemical Technology from Cracow University of Technology (2014)
• PhD, DSc, Eng. in Chemical Engineering from Cracow University of Technology (2024)

Professor Miastkowska's research centers on developing advanced delivery systems for medical and cosmetic applications, with particular focus on colloidal nanocarriers, hydrogels, emulsions, and hybrid systems designed to treat inflammatory skin conditions and chronic wounds. Her work bridges pharmaceutical sciences, dermatology, and materials engineering through innovative formulations incorporating natural compounds like ursolic acid and lavender oil. International research experience includes internships at Poland's Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry (2012), Spain's Institute of Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (2012), and Jagiellonian University's Małopolska Centre of Biotechnology (2023).

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a dominant research trajectory in nanotechnology-enabled drug delivery for dermatological applications, particularly psoriasis treatment and wound healing. Key thematic clusters include probiotic delivery systems, natural product formulations, and hybrid hydrogel-nanocarrier matrices, demonstrating strong interdisciplinary integration between cosmetic science, pharmaceutical technology, and agricultural biotechnology.

She has secured multiple competitive research grants including:

• RPMA.01.02.00-14-5729/16: Ecological water-based perfumes without allergens (2017-2018)
• TRL Innovation Incubator 2.0: Bioactive lavender oil preparations for burns (2019-2020)
• RPMP.01.02.01-12-0186/19: Medical device line based on nanogel technology (2020-2021)

Professor Miastkowska actively teaches core courses including Organic Chemical Technology, Cosmetic Technology, Medical Device Technology, and specialized seminars on delivery systems and borderline products. She maintains strong industry connections through her leadership in the CosmMed Scientific Club and continues to advance translational research in medical device development.
