Sebastian Golojuch
Graduate student (2021-)
Sebastian has received his Bachelor of Science in chemistry with distinction and Master of Science in organic chemistry with distinction at the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Warsaw, where he was working under the supervision of prof. Jacek Jemielity and prof. Joanna Kowalska. He also completed an internship at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Hamburg, working under the supervision of prof. Chris Meier. In his research, he was focused mainly on the development of cell-permeable prodrugs of nucleotide analogue inhibitors targeting cap-dependent translation. In addition, he was engaged in projects concerning the synthesis of small molecular inhibitors of cap-interacting proteins, synthesis of molecular probes for exploring protein inhibitors properties, exploration of the fragmentation pathways of biologically and therapeutically relevant mRNA 5’ cap analogues using tandem mass spectrometry, and exploration of mRNA 5’ caps metabolism in cell extracts using LC-MS technique.
