Jacek Z KUBIAK

Professor

biography

Dr. Jacek Z. Kubiak received his Master degree in Plant Cytology from Warsaw University in Poland in 1983, and his PhD in Embryology from the same University in 1988, followed by postdoctoral fellowship at Institute Jacques Monod, Paris, France in 1989-1992. Since 1992, Dr. Jacek Kubiak is a full-time researcher at the CNRS, France and pursuit his career in this institution. Since 2016 he heads the laboratory of Regenerative Medicine and Cell Biology at the Military Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (WIHE) in Warsaw, Poland. His scientific activity focuses on the regulation of the cell cycle, embryo development and cell differentiation. He is interested in developmental potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) of different origin, cell cycle regulation in stem cells and early embryos and in mechanisms governing cell differentiation both in MSC and upon gonads differentiation when a binary decision is taken to differentiate into an ovary or testis in the mouse and Xenopus laevis. He is a co-editor of the series “Results & Problems in Cell Differentiation” in Springer Verlag, Heidelberg, Germany.
