Zbigniew Kmieć

Zbigniew Kmieć is a retired Professor at the Medical University of Gdańsk, Poland, with expertise in cancer biology, cellular stress mechanisms, and immunology. His research focuses on gene expression regulation in cancer cells, cellular protective proteins during aging, and pharmacological interventions in age-related diseases. He has contributed to projects like the VM3.0 Erasmus+ initiative, enhancing medical education through digital morphology resources.

Key research areas include the interplay of autophagy and apoptosis in cancer therapy, galanin's role in colorectal cancer progression, and fenofibrate's effects on renal and hepatic stress pathways. His work bridges molecular mechanisms with clinical implications, particularly in oncology and aging-related pathologies.

Publications span over 272 records, covering topics like pro-inflammatory cytokines in penile cancer, Klotho protein's role in immune aging, and biomarkers for kidney diseases. Collaborations include researchers like Piotr Wierzbicki and Agata Wrońska, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to biomedical challenges.
