معرفی
Zuzana Dzureková is a Researcher at the University of Warsaw, specializing in protist diversity, eukaryotic origins, and endosymbiont analysis. Her work bridges microbial ecology and evolutionary biology, with a focus on trypanosomatid biochemistry and freshwater protist communities.
Research Interests: She investigates the functional diversity of protists in freshwaters, particularly their symbiotic relationships and metabolic pathways. Her studies on the tricarboxylic acid cycle in Diplonema papillatum highlight her expertise in eukaryotic cellular biology.
Project Participation: She contributed to the SK-CZ-RD-21-0038 project on trypanosomatid biochemistry. Recently, she conducted an Erasmus+ internship at the University of Kent (2023), analyzing metabolic pathways in unicellular eukaryotes under Dr. Anastasios Tsaousis.
Publications: Her 2024 work in International Journal for Parasitology explores catalase’s role in Leptomonas seymouri infectivity, demonstrating interdisciplinary insights into parasitic mechanisms.
Labs/Teams: Affiliated with the Eukaryotic Microorganisms Evolution and Genomics of Microbial Eukaryotes groups, advancing understanding of protist evolution and pathogenicity.
