Research Topics

The Nencki Institute hosts over 40 PIs including the most highly cited biology researchers in Poland. Our priority is to excel in basic scientific research by maintaining the highest-quality scientific output in terms of created and disseminated knowledge that can be applied to broader societal needs to improve quality of life. Responding to the challenges of modern biology and medicine our scientific goals are focused on understanding animal and human physiology and pathology at all major levels of analysis: molecular, subcellular, cellular and the whole organism (systems).
