Dr. Michał Makowski from the Phototonic Materials Research Group, the first author of the article “Scaling Up Purcell-Enhanced Self-Assembled Nanoplasmonic Perovskite Scintillators into the Bulk Regime” published in Advanced Materials, explains the Purcell effect, methods to increase scintillation efficiency, and the prospects for reducing the costs of medical examinations such as PET tomography.

Prof. Jarosław Serafińczuk, a member of the Advanced Semiconductor Epitaxy Research Group, has been awarded the title of professor in the fields of materials engineering and automation, electronics, electrical engineering, and space technologies. Prof. Serafińczuk combines his work at Łukasiewicz – PORT with his duties at Wrocław University of Science and Technology, in the Department of Nanometrology at the Faculty of Electronics, Photonics and Microsystems, and as he says himself, receiving the professorial title has not slowed him down. He specializes in high-resolution X-ray diffraction in materials research. This is one of the fundamental analytical methods, allowing scientists to observe

Dr. Marek Wagner, Head of the Innate Immunity Research Group at Łukasiewicz – PORT, has achieved something that is rare in Polish science (and beyond) and a dream of every scientist. He has just published an article in Nature, one of the most prestigious scientific journals in the world. In the paper, he presents, among other findings, the results of his research on ILC2 immune cells, demonstrating that cells previously known mainly for inducing type 2 immune responses associated with protection against parasites may also play a key role in the fight against cancer.

The Friday meeting of the Institute Council, convening for the first time in its new composition, resulted in decisions on matters of key importance for Łukasiewicz – PORT. The Council issued a positive opinion on the candidacy of Prof. Jarosław Bosy for the position of Institute Director, approved the directions of the Institute’s scientific activities, and positively assessed the draft work plans (including the financial plan) for the coming year. The meeting was chaired by the Chairperson elected at the beginning of the session – the Council members entrusted this role to Prof. Adam Maciejczyk.

Łukasiewicz – PORT and BASF Environmental Catalyst and Metal Solutions are jointly introducing young people to the world of chemistry and technology through an innovative approach to education and environmental protection. Free classes for children from Wrocław and the surrounding area.

This Sunday, 27/10/2024, we warmly invite you to a unique cultural event taking place at the Pracze Campus—the home of the Łukasiewicz – PORT Institute.

We are proud to announce that the implementation doctorate project of Martyna Skuła from the Biology of Astrocytes Research Group at Łukasiewicz – PORT, led by Dr. Michał Ślęzak, has been ranked first on the national ranking list in the “Implementation Doctorate 2024” program of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

Effective 09/01/2024, the Minister of Science, Dariusz Wieczorek, appointed a new Advisory Team for Research Infrastructure, which includes Prof. Jarosław Bosy as a member. The Team, operating within the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, brings together experts from various scientific fields across the country. Its role is to evaluate applications for funding aimed at developing research infrastructure. This includes investments in unique scientific-research equipment as well as IT infrastructure essential for implementing the state’s science policy. The Team’s term covers the years 2024–2028.
