About Karolina
Ever since I remember I've been interested in learning how medicines work. How a milligram of a powder can change the way you think, or feel.
​
This inspired me to study Pharmacy at King's College London and apply for industrial placements during my degree. Upon graduating in 2015, I moved to Manchester to complete my pharmacist foundation training at AstraZeneca and University Hospital South Manchester. I returned to London in 2016 to start PhD at the CDT in Advanced Therapeutics and Nanomedicines at UCL School of Pharmacy.
​
After completing my PhD on antibody-functionalised biomaterials for cancer immunotherapy, I joined Centre for Nerve Engineering for a one year postdoc, where I worked on the development of implants for peripheral nerve injury. I was then awarded an EPSRC Doctoral Prize fellowship for a project on implants for spinal cord injury.
I started my lectureship in Pharmaceutics at UCL School of Pharmacy in December 2022. I am passionate about mentoring students, seeing them flourish in a supportive and creative academic environment and facilitating their progress.
