There are places in Poland that operate at a genuinely world-class level – but they do so in conditions that make it systematically hard to build anything that lasts. In a Candela Foundation podcast, Anna Pawlus, Managing Director of ICTER, speaks candidly about the problem: Poland still lacks a clear definition of what “Centres of […]
As the Horizon Europe programme enters its final phase, research institutions across Poland are sharing their experiences on how to successfully obtain and implement European research grants. One such event was the InfoDay “The final stretch of Horizon Europe – seize your opportunity!”, held in Warsaw on 3-4 February 2026. Joanna Kartasiewicz from ICTER participated […]
Dr. Vineeta Kaushik, a Postdoctoral Researcher from Integrated Structural Biology Group, has been awarded a prestigious FEBS Short-Term Fellowship by the Federation of European Biochemical Societies. The fellowship is granted following a competitive evaluation by the FEBS Excellence Awards and Fellowships Committee and supports outstanding early-career researchers across Europe.
New sequencing technologies, artificial intelligence in medicine, and single-cell data analysis are now at the core of modern biology and precision medicine. At the center of this international discussion were ICTER researchers Dr. Stefania Robakiewicz and Dr. Aleksandra Kornacka-Stackonis, who took part in The Festival of Genomics and Biodata 2026 in London.
Two days of conversations, presentations, and meetings that remind us that science is, above all, about people and their ideas. During the IChF Microsymposium, ICTER researchers showcased the diversity and ambition of their projects – from optical brain imaging to the structure of proteins essential for vision.
It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t sting, and most of the time it shows no warning signs at all. Yet, it can quietly impair vision. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of those parameters that seem insignificant – until you truly understand it. A new international publication explains that behind the simple number displayed by a tonometer […]
Usually, to examine the brain, we need a large MRI scanner and complex equipment. Researchers at ICTER suggest a different method: measuring brain activity from the subtle “noise” of scattered light in tissues.
A prototype is being created in ICTER’s laboratories that may redefine how we build augmented reality. The team led by Dr. Eng. Katarzyna Komar is developing AR glasses that use two-photon vision. This mechanism enables bright, sharp, and high-contrast images without complicating the optics and without the typical limitations of today’s solutions.
