Biography
Dr. Aleksander Wesełucha-Birczyńska is the Professor of Chemistry in Jagillonian University. The focus of research is on understanding the molecular structure of selected drugs, their aggregation capabilities and interactions with surrounding molecules, in addition to the consequent properties that include their transport through biological membranes and binding abilities. Spectroscopic and structural studies of a variety of transitionmetal compounds have been performed to establish structure/spectroscopy relationships. By contrast, the characterization of selected minerals/biominerals and biopolymers by mRaman microscopy and other techniques allowed us to account for the diversity observed in natural samples and also for their anisotropic spectroscopic properties.
