Biography: Dr. Katarzyna M. Sawicka is currently working as a Research Scientist at Department of Dermatology Stony Brook Medical Center, Stony Brook, New York. She did her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York, U.S.A. Her MS in Chemistry, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York and BS in Engineering Chemistry, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York. Her research focuses on developing novel technologies to capitalize on the enhanced functions of nano-scaled materials. Recently, Sawicka joined the Department of Dermatology, where she hopes to further pursue the development of ImmunoMatrix, a non-invasive skin patch that effectively delivers vaccines into the skin. She has over 17 publications in peer reviewed journals in her credit.
