Members of the Laboratory of Biological Sensitizers are currently (in 2023) working on the following projects:

NCN (National Science Centre) grants:

• CEUS-UNISONO " Radiosensitizing derivatives of pyrimidine or purine nucleobases: Mass spectrometry and quantum chemical studies on low-energy electron interactions in gas phase, water clusters and solutions "
  Principal investigator: Janusz Rak
  Researchers: Lidia Chomicz-Mańka, Magdalena Datta, Samanta Romanowska, Adrian Szczyrba, Magdalena Zdrowowicz-Żamojć

The project is carried out in cooperation with groups from the Gdańsk University of Technology and the group of prof. Stephan Denifl from the University of Innsbruck

• PRELUDIUM 15 " Modeling phosphorylation by human thymidine kinase 1. A crucial step in the rational design of thymidine-analogue radiosensitizers"
  Principal investigator: Samanta Romanowska
  Scientific supervisor: Janusz Rak

• SONATA 17 „Radiosensitization by the combined use of modified nucleosides and inhibitors of DNA repair to improve the efficacy of radiotherapy”

Principal investigator: Magdalena Zdrowowicz-Żamojć

 Young Scientists Researches grants (BMN) 2023:

• „Halogenothionucleoside derivatives as photosensitizers - mechanistic studies in the cellular environment”
  Principal investigator: Anna Czaja

• „In vitro studies of the radiosensitizing properties of 8-trifluorooxobenzylamino-2'-deoxyadenosine”
  Principal investigator: Magdalena Datta

• „Study on the DEA process and QSPR (Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship) analysis of mono-substituted bezyladenine derivatives as potential new purine-based radiosensitizers”
  Principal investigator: Adrian Szczyrba

Computational grant:

• Wroclaw Centre for Networking and Supercomputing grant. "Electron impact on brominated DNA nucleotides"
  Principal investigator: Lidia Chomicz-Mańka
