Pawel Olszowy

Shortly after receiving his PhD in analytical chemistry from the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland, Pawel Olszowy joined the Proteomics Laboratory at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. “Here, I began studying proteomics using mass spectrometry. I am trying to crack the epigenetic code of histones by identifying post-translational modifications and their functions.” This includes measuring changes in histones after exposure to drugs of abuse and following viral infections. The answers to these questions, Pawel believes, will point to targeted therapies.
