Małgorzata Golanowska obtained her PhD from IFB UG-MUG (PL) and INSA de Lyon (FR) in biochemistry and microbiology. Her studies involved plant pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas syringae and Dickeya solani and how to combat diseases caused by those microorganisms by means of biocontrol.

She has 15 years of experience as a researcher in different research centers such as IFB UG-MUG (PL), INSA de Lyon (FR), NIOO-KNAW (NL) and companies such as International Flavors and Fragrances or Merieux NutriSciences (NL). Since more than 6 years, Gosia works at ICL Specialty Fertilizers (NL) with a mission of improving crop yields in a sustainable way by using beneficial microbes – microbial biostimulants. She focuses on improvement of nutrient use efficiency in plants and steering plant microbiome towards sustainable plant nutrition. Since 2022, she is a consultative member of PT Microbials at European Biostimulants Industry Council (EBIC).
