dr inż. Monika Kopeć

I am  an assistant professor at the Faculty of Chemistry of the Lodz University of Technology. My scientific interests focus on the application of Raman spectroscopy and Raman imaging in the analysis of biological systems (especially human tissues and human cells) during cancer development. My current research direction involves the analysis of metabolic changes occurring in cancer cell cultures, with particular emphasis on the role of sugars. In the analysis of experimental data, I use advanced statistical and chemometric methods.
