Ewa Kijeńska-Gawrońska is the Head of the Laboratory of Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering at the Department of Medical Biotechnology, Centre for Advanced Materials and Technologies CEZAMAT, Warsaw University of Technology. She specializes in designing, developing, and physicochemical and biological characterization of biomaterials for tissue-engineered scaffolds and drug delivery carriers. Her research interest focuses mainly on electrospun natural and synthetic polymeric- and composite-based biomaterials, including biomaterial synthesis, cell-biomaterial interactions, smart biomaterials for tissue regeneration, drug delivery, advanced design, fabrication, and characterization of the scaffolds. She is also exploiting electrospinning for biotechnology applications using polymeric and composite wastes. She was involved in implementing ten international and nine national scientific projects. In 2021 awarded the 1st-degree WUT Rectors Award. In 2023, she was chosen as one of the 21 best of the best young scientists at WUT (1st edition of Best of Best PW competition-Best of Best PW 2023).
