Our Institute is one of the leading scientific units for animal reproduction research in Poland. The accolades awarded to our scientists by the Society of Reproductive Biology confirm the top level of research carried out at the Institute.

The Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences – along with the Society of Reproductive Biology and the University of Warsaw – was the organiser of the 10th Congress of the Society of Reproductive Biology, held on 12-14 September in Warsaw. The conference brought together nearly 150 researchers from national and international scientific centres.

During the event, Dr Aneta Andronowska, Professor of IARFR PAS, from the Hormonal Action Mechanisms Team, received the Society’s highest accolade, the TBR medal, for her many years of organisational activity in support of the Society’s development.

Dr Maria M. Guzewska from the Hormonal Action Mechanisms Team of our Institute received the Professor Władysław Bielański Award, awarded by the Society once every four years. Dr Guzewska was recognised for her research on the role of embryonic signals in embryo-maternal communication involving extracellular vesicles.

Paulina Zając, our PhD student, was recognised for her poster entitled “Progestin and adipoQ receptor (PAQR) 7 and PAQR8 knockdown affects the function of bovine endometrial endothelial cells”, which she prepared under the supervision of Dr Magdalena Kowalik, head of the Physiology and Toxicology Team.

Congratulations!
