OverviewAI-generated summary
Alicja Urbaniak's research focuses on investigating the anticancer properties of various compounds and agents. Her work includes studying the in vitro anti-melanoma activity of the Trametes versicolor mushroom, as well as the anti-glioblastoma potential of monensin and its analogs in organoid models. Urbaniak has also investigated modified salinomycin analogs for targeting stem-like cells in breast cancer models and the synthesis and anticancer activity of colchicine derivatives. Additionally, her research has explored the characterization of cannabinoid receptors in Ewing sarcoma cells as potential drug targets and methods for enhancing the effectiveness of virotherapy in pancreatic cancer.
