Dr. Burmistrz is a postdoctoral researcher in Agata Krawczyk-Balska’s lab at University of Warsaw. His current research focuses on studying regulatory mechanism of bacterial gene expression in Listeria monocytogenes. In addition to that, in his work he is developing new tools utilizing CRISPR/Cas systems. Before moving to Warsaw in 2017, he completed his masters (2012) and doctoral (2017) degrees in Krzysztof Pyrć’s lab at Jagiellonian University in Cracow, where he was developing reporter systems of viral infections and studying biology of CRISPR/Cas systems of Porphyromonas gingivalis. He was a visiting researcher in AI Virtanen Institute for Molecular Sciences, University of Eastern Finland (2012) and in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark (2018).
