Paweł Urbański PhD

Position – research and technical worker, Department of Genomics and Biodiversity, Institute of Genetics and Animal Biotechnology Polish Academy of Sciences in Jastrzębiec.

Field of interest: molecular biology, animal genetics, the quality of animal products, nutrigenomics.

Scientific achievements: ca 100 publications, 40 papers from JCR list, 4 sections in scientific books, 65 reports on national and international conferences. Total citations ca. 140, Hirsch Index – 6.

Selected scientific achievements:

1. The identification of new polymorphisms in coding and regulatory regions in porcine MyoD family gene, and correlations between these polymorphisms and productive traits in pigs.
2. The elaboration and analysis of transcriptomic profile of the selected genes involved to development in muscle tissue on different breeds of pigs.
3. The analysis of polymorphism of the selected candidate genes associated with carcass meatiness and meat quality in pigs.
4. The preliminary nutrigenomics analysis – the elaboration of transcriptomic profile associated with supplementation bioactive feed components polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Realized research projects.

The Principal Investigator of 1 project and co-investigator of 3 projects

1. The principal investigator: “The polymorphism of the other main candidate genes for the carcass quality traits in pigs.”.
2. The co-investigator of subtask 3.4. “The use of molecular methods to verify of genetic basis of traits quality pork” in BIOFOOD – innovative functional products of animal origin”
3. The co-investigator in projects: “The functional genomics of muscle cells and the polymorphism of regulatory sequences of genes associated with quantitative and qualitative features  of meat pigs and cattle”.
