Joanna Nowacka joins Dynamic42 as Lead for Stem Cell Model Development

We are delighted to announce that Joanna Nowacka has recently joined Dynamic42 as a scientist. Joanna is from Warsaw in Poland and brings along a remarkable background in biotechnology, having graduated summa cum laude from the University of Warsaw. Her scientist journey includes two notable internships in the USA at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the University of Virginia, further enhancing her expertise in cancer research and biotechnology. We are very happy to have Joanna support our research team.

Embracing the future of Drug Testing Models

Currently, Joanna finished her industrial Ph.D. project in Miltenyi Biotec with the affiliation at the University of Tübingen. This project, as part of the prestigious Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Actions program, focused on developing innovative heart-on-a-chip for applications in cellular therapies. This multidisciplinary experience perfectly aligns with Dynamic42’s cutting-edge research and development initiatives. Within her work, Joanna will be developing stem cell cultures, from which she can then differentiate multiple cell types.

Joanne will be working on a vascularized liver-on-chip model for personalized compound testing (Vascu Chip). This Project is financed by the directive of the Free State of Thuringia on the Promotion of Research, Technology and Innovation (FTI) of 19.02.2024, entered into force on 20.02.2024 (ThürStAnz.-Nr. 11/2024 from 11.03.2024, S. 428-429).

I believe organ-on-chip technology represents the future of drug testing models. I am eager to join Dynamic42 to contribute my stem cell expertise to their already remarkable platforms.

Beyond the Lab

In her free time, Joanna enjoys immersing herself in various activities. She likes reading, finds creativity in knitting, and experiments with new cooking recipes.
