Małgorzata Wiweger, biographical note
Head of the Zebrafish Core Facility at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw, Poland. She graduated at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences in Poland and obtained PhD at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, Sweden in the field of plant development. In 2004 she switched from plants to animal model (zebrafish) and since then worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Sheffield (UK), Leiden University Medical Centre, Leiden University and ZF-screens in Leiden, The Netherlands. She is interested in proteoglycans regulating embryo development and uses zebrafish as a model for studies on the skeletal development in normal and pathological conditions. Her latest projects focused on skeletal tuberculosis and non-classical aspects of multiple osteochondromas.
