Dr Witold Kilarski

Biologist specialising in lymphatic system research. He received his PhD from Uppsala University (Sweden). He worked as a postdoc at EPFL Lausanne (Switzerland) and University of Bordeaux (France), then as Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Chicago (USA), in Prof. Melody Swartz's laboratory.

For over a decade, he conducted research on lymphatic vessel biology, publishing in international scientific journals. After returning to Poland in 2020, he applied for a NAWA grant to research the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes.

Currently unemployed — as a result of NCN's actions and Director Błocki's interference, his scientific career has been destroyed. Instead of conducting research on curing diabetes, he is forced to defend himself in court proceedings initiated by the institution that should support science.
