After three years of intensive renovation work, the Independent Public Clinical Ophthalmology Hospital MUW has returned to its historic site on Sierakowskiego Street. Today, it offers patients completely new treatment standards and many unique procedures. The renovated facility features modern rooms and a well-equipped operating theater.

Prof. Jolanta Kunikowska, Prof. Leszek Królicki and a team from the Department of Nuclear Medicine UCC MUW took part in an innovative research project using a new diagnostic parameter - positronium lifetime - for brain tumor imaging. This was the first “positronium” imaging in the world. The project was led by the J- PET team from the Department of Experimental Particle Physics of the Jagiellonian University, led by Prof. Paweł Moskal and Prof. Ewa Stępień.

These are the most valuable awards that academic teachers can receive - because they are awarded by students. The diplomas for the didacticians at MUW were presented by Prof. Robert Gałązkowski, Acting Rector of MUW.

This is the second edition of the competition implemented as part of the “Za głosem serca” educational campaign thanks to the cooperation between the Medical University of Warsaw and the Boehringer Ingelheim.

The CePT II project was implemented from 2018 by a scientific consortium consisting of: the Medical University of Warsaw (leader), the University of Warsaw, the Institute of High Pressure Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The project conducted research on the most important civilization diseases, developing, among other things, research on the use of cell therapies in restorative medicine, including the repair of the vascular epithelium, circulatory system and lung epithelium. In addition, cooperation with the country's leading scientific units and enterprises has been developed. A meeting had just been held to summarize the main objectives of CePT II and its implementation.

There has never been such an event within the walls of MUW before. Nearly 1,000 young graduates of medicine and dentistry gathered in the auditorium of the Didactic Center to take part in a ceremony to hand out referrals for postgraduate internships organized by the District Medical Chamber in Warsaw. As many as 80% of them were MUW graduates, so the ceremony was particularly important for the university and the MUW authorities could not miss it.

The winner of the Polish edition of the competition, Adrian Nowakowski, together with the winners from other countries, took part in the Queen Silvia Nursing Award ceremony. The awards were presented by Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden. The ceremony took place at the Royal Palace in Stockholm.

An international conference “Unlocking hope for the ultra-rare,” organized by the Center of Excellence for Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases MUW and the PACS2 Research Foundation, was held at MUW. For two days, scientists, doctors and parents as well as the families of patients discussed the importance of cooperation and involvement of all parties in the treatment process of patients suffering from rare and ultra-rare diseases.

The letter was signed by our university, the Prof. Jan Nielubowicz District Medical Chamber in Warsaw, the Ronald McDonald Foundation and “Zielony Latawiec” Non-public Integration Kindergarten. The document is a declaration of cooperation involving obtaining funding by the OIL in Warsaw and MUW, and then transferring them to the recipients in the form of a surcharge on tuition fees for the kindergarten located at the Ronald McDonald House. - We want to support parents in their professional activity - stresses Prof. Piotr Pruszczyk, Vice Rector for Science and Technology Transfer, who signed the letter on the side of MUW – Therefore, we are taking steps to ensure that the children of MUW employees and medics can use the facility located on the Banacha Campus on favorable terms.
