When Russia invaded Ukraine, civilian lives, as well as lives of the scientists who live in the country, were upended. When an international grant was launched to support Ukrainian scientists, Andrzej Wierzbicki, a U-M professor of cellular, molecular and developmental biology, who is Polish, saw the funding opportunity as a way to help support the country that neighbors his own.
Wierzbicki won a grant from the International Multilateral Partnerships for Resilient Education and Science System in Ukraine, or IMPRESS-U.
Wierzbicki joins the Michigan Minds podcast to discuss how he is working with partners in Poland – Marcin Nowotny of the International Institute of Molecular Cell Biology in Warsaw – and Ukraine – Mykhailo Tukalo of the Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics in Kyiv – to explore how DNA is organized within plant chloroplasts.
