IlonaWeronika Sadok

Ilona Weronika Sadok is an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research, the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland. She received her M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees with honors in chemistry from Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (Lublin, Poland) in 2013 and 2017, respectively.

During Ph.D., she was working on designing voltammetric sensors for heavy metal ions and biologically active compounds determination. In 2016, she joined to Magdalena Staniszewska's lab at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research, the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland. Here she is developing analytical tools (utilizing liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, voltammetry) for qualitative and quantitative analyses of biologically active substances including low-molecular, i.e. drugs, metabolites, toxins, pesticides, products of biochemical synthesis, and high-molecular compounds as well. The major topic of her research program is studying tryptophan metabolism via kynurenine pathway mainly in the field of cancer and metabolic disorders.
