Imran received his Master’s degree in Applied Biomolecular Technology from the University of Nottingham, UK, following which he worked in R&D at the RCSI (Dublin, Ireland), Domainex (Cambridge, UK), Lonza (London, UK) and Thermo Fisher Scientific, before moving to Revvity as a Product Specialist for Life Sciences across South Asia & Middle East/

From more than 10 years focused on HCS systems configuration according to users needs

As a highly experienced researcher in cell biology and biochemistry, he has spent over a decade designing and executing both commercial and academic research projects. He possesses a wide range of expertise in cellular models and state-of-the-art in vitro methods with a particular focus on High Content Screening approaches and single cell analysis.

Aleksandra Chorążewska is a PhD student at Department of Protein Engineering, Faculty of Biotechnology, University of Wroclaw (Poland) under supervision of Dr Łukasz Opaliński.

She graduated in Biotechnology at Faculty of Biotechnology, University of Wroclaw in 2022. Her master thesis was focused on finding relationship between the sequence, stability, and function of classical zinc fingers.

Currently, the main subject of her research is focused on identifying endocytosis pathways in pancreatic cells and finding chemical compounds, that can influence that process – in both ways: promote and inhibit. Additionally, she is involved in other projects in which I focus on microscopic imaging using the Opera Phenix Plus microscope."

Natalia Karczewska is a biologist at the Centre for Chemical Biology ERIC in the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Poznan. The Centre has experience and provides services in HTS of compound libraries, multi-parametric high-content imaging, super-resolution microscopy, as well as chemical synthesis of bioactive molecules and “Hit to Lead” approach to molecular optimization.

She graduated in 2022 with a MSc in Biotechnology from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan. At the Centre, she works on projects related to the topic of multiparametric microscopic imaging, including the use of “Cell Painting” assay on adherent human cell lines. In addition, she focuses on developing skills in the analysis of microscopic images, as well as the analysis of multiparametric numerical data from compound screening performed using microscopic imaging.

Małgorzata Wieteska: With an MSc in Biology from the University of Warsaw, is currently pursuing her doctoral studies at the Doctoral School of Information and Biomedical Technologies (TIB). With a decade of experience as a Lab Technician and Researcher at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences, she has contributed to various research projects. In her current role as a Researcher for the National Science Center (NCN) project, she oversees tasks such as monitoring sample conditions during cytotoxicity tests and conducting analyses using a high-throughput microscopy. Her expertise in cell biology and biochemistry reflects a dedicated commitment to advancing scientific inquiry through innovative in vitro methods.

Holding the title of medical doctor and DSc degree in physics from the University of Warsaw, Dr. Setny specialises in advancing and applying computational methodologies to address biological challenges. He is a seasoned scientific group leader with a proven track record as a principal investigator in multiple research projects. Joining Inventro reflects the pursuit of his longstanding passion for computer aided drug design, now evolving within the exciting, dynamic landscape of the machine learning and AI revolution.

Biologist by education and passion. Chemist and salesman by choice, who returns to biology after 10 years to jointly develop Life Science in northern Poland.
