Since the establishment, we have tried to keep an “open doors” policy in the MCB, sharing not only equipment but also expertise and passion for science. This approach has resulted in many great achievements, such as the ERC Consolidator Grant for Dr. hab. Sebastian Glatt, whose #MCBexperience we are sharing today.
Why do you believe MCB stands out among other research units?
The culture of MCB is based on our community – we share our infrastructure, ideas, knowledge, results and most important of all a common culture of supporting each other. Modern research is done in teams and MCB tries to support this collaborative approach.
How has MCB contributed to your academic/professional journey?
MCB offered me to create my first independent research group. Therefore, MCB was crucial for me to become an independent scientist and I am very grateful for this opportunity.
In your view, what are MCB's most significant accomplishments over the last 10 years?
I think the establishment of an independent, world-class research institute within the existing structure of a Polish University is a very significant achievement by itself. However, I think that the successful implementation of core facilities that provide services, technical expertise and access to infrastructure to researchers from MCB, UJ, Poland and the whole world is the most impressive achievement.
