Prof. Stanisław Karpiński

Prof. Stanisław Karpiński received his PhD and DSc degrees at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Umeå, and was nominated full professor in molecular physiology of plants by Vice-Chancellor of the Stockholm University (2004). Currently, Prof. Karpiński works at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, leading the Laboratory of Plant Physiomics and Crop Design. His team is focused on the dependence between quantum processes in photosystems I and II and redox, electrophysiologic and hormonal state of the cell as a response to biotic and abiotic stresses. As a laureate of the Welcome programme by the FOundation for Polish Science he investigates new methods of cell wall hydrolysis for biofuel production.
