The laboratory of Biomolecular Interactions and Transport (BIT) was established by the end of 2016 jointly by the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Faculty of Biology, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, and the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw. Since 2026, the laboratory has been solely affiliated with Adam Mickiewicz University.
The main research topic of the laboratory is to address fundamental questions about the mechanisms underlying ligand transport through proteins and the implications of these processes for the functions of living cells. To obtain a more comprehensive picture, we also investigate protein-ligand interactions at functional sites, as well as intra- and inter-protein interactions. To achieve these goals, we also develop new computational protocols and tools and apply them to the analysis of biomedically and biotechnologically relevant proteins.
