By decision of the President of the Republic of Poland dated July 23, 2025, Małgorzata Wronkowska, was awarded the title of Professor of Agricultural Sciences in the discipline of Food Technology and Nutrition. She is affiliated with the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences and works in the Department of Food Chemistry and Biodynamics.

Professor Wronkowska is a nationally and internationally recognized expert in the study of the physical, chemical, and functional properties of plant-based products. Her research also includes the physiological effects of these products on the human body.

Her scientific work focuses on plant biopolymers, with particular emphasis on resistant starch – a specific fraction of starch with significant physiological importance. Like dietary fiber, this type of starch undergoes fermentation in the large intestine, helping to restore the balance of gut microbiota, which has a beneficial effect on human health.

Professor Wronkowska also conducts research in the area of both gluten-free and conventional baking. In her work, she uses cereals, pseudocereals, and selected by-products of the food industry. These are an important source of bioactive compounds that play a significant role in dietetics, prevention, and nutrition.

Another area of her research interests involves the multifunctional properties of baked goods and the biologically active compounds they contain. Many of her studies focus on the biological activity of these products and compounds in the prevention of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetic complications, and inflammatory conditions.

Professor Wronkowska has repeatedly enhanced her expertise through research internships in Poland and abroad, including in Finland, the Netherlands, and Spain. She is a co-author of fou patents related to the production or processing of baked goods.

She is a recipient of several scientific awards, including the “Pro Scientia et Vita” award from the Foundation of Members of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Scientific Award granted by the Marshal of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. She actively participates in both national and international research projects.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations and wish her continued scientific success!
