The rector of MUW from 2008-2016, Prof. Marek Krawczyk, was elected an active member of the V Faculty of Medicine of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences (PAU) on June 15, 2024. Out of 15 candidates submitted from various scientific centers in Poland, only Prof. Krawczyk's candidacy was supported by a majority of the PAU General Assembly.

On June 14, a state-of-the-art PET/CT lab was opened at the Department of Nuclear Medicine UCC MUW. From now on, UCC MUW patients will be diagnosed using a technologically advanced device, which will make the examination faster and more accurate. And, equally important, the dose of radiation absorbed by the patient will be reduced.

We have a list of 100 scientific leaders - compiled for activities in 2020-2023 and the results of the ranking of departments, which included activities in 2023.

The winner of the Supertalents in Medicine competition is a specialist in cardiology, a research and teaching assistant professor at the 1st Chair and Department of Cardiology UCC MUW. The competition's jury, composed of renowned experts and authorities in Polish medicine, recognized him for his clinical activities and scientific interests, which focus on invasive cardiology and diagnostic imaging. His achievements include the development and validation of a new method of coronary angiography analysis - more sensitive in diagnosing significant lesions in the coronary arteries.

Another edition of the MUW Patronage Program prepared by the Communication and Promotion Office has ended. Its culmination was a lecture on innovations in interventional cardiology delivered by Prof. Marcin Grabowski, Head of the 1st Chair and Department of Cardiology.

For the second time, the Faculty of Pharmacy has distributed invitations to participation in the international Interdisciplinary Conference on Drug Sciences “ACCORD 2024”. “A musical chord is a consonance of sounds of different pitches. We want to achieve such consonance between various fields of science in order to carry out ambitious drug research, create new intriguing projects and increase the recognition of our work around the world,” said Prof. Przemysław Dorożyński, Chair of the Scientific Committee of the Conference.

This event, hosted by students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, was intended for young scientists who conduct interesting research in the field of health sciences. The agenda relied almost entirely on their speeches. Almost, because there was also room for an interesting debate with the participation of Faculty students about how they would like to be taught. Their discussion showed that, regardless of what subject they represent, they have clear expectations and there is more that unites them than divides them.
