📣 MUG Professor Co-Authors Article in the Prestigious Journal JAMA

Prof. Wiesław Cubała, head of the Department of Adult Psychiatry at the Medical University of Gdańsk, is the co-author of an article published in JAMA, one of the world’s leading medical journals.

🧠 The article presents the results of a clinical trial on a new approach to treating treatment-resistant depression. The researchers evaluated the efficacy and safety of a single intranasal dose of mebufotenine. The results indicate the potential of this method, which requires further study.

The publication is part of a broader trend of research in this field. In 2026, an article was also published in JAMA Psychiatry on inhaled mebufotenine, co-authored by three researchers from the Department of Adult Psychiatry at the Medical University of Gdańsk: Prof. Wiesław Cubała, Maria Gałuszko-Węgielnik, Ph.D., and Katarzyna Jakuszkowiak-Wojten, Ph.D.

🌍 Teaching across borders, sharing ideas, inspiring change

How can international exchange contribute to better teaching? The recent visit of Vlastislav Ryšavý from Charles University in Prague to the Medical University of Gdańsk offered an opportunity to explore this question in practice.

As part of the Erasmus+ mobility programme for academic teaching staff, the Department of Foreign Languages at MUG hosted the visiting academic for a series of meetings, classroom observations and discussions on language teaching in higher education.

The programme included classes taught by Magda Warzocha and Małgorzata Braszkiewicz, followed by discussions on teaching methods, student engagement, classroom dynamics and ways of supporting students in developing their language skills.

🤝 The exchange was a valuable opportunity to share experiences, discover new approaches and strengthen cooperation between the two universities.

🫀 MUG researchers at the International Symposium on Mechanisms of Vasodilatation 2026

Researchers from the Medical University of Gdańsk participated in the International Symposium on Mechanisms of Vasodilatation (MOVD 2026), held on 15–17 October at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, Canada.

The symposium brought together international experts in vascular biology, endothelial dysfunction and microcirculatory abnormalities associated with cardiovascular diseases. MUG research teams contributed three oral presentations and two posters, showcasing interdisciplinary research combining clinical cardiology with advanced molecular, metabolic and cellular investigations.

🔬 Prof. Barbara Kutryb-Zając, from the Department of Biochemistry and Coordinator of the Centre of Experimental Cardiooncology, presented research on metabolic changes and microvascular function in patients with chronic heart failure treated with SGLT2 inhibitors. The work is conducted in collaboration with Prof. Marcin Hellmann and Dr Maria Tarnawska from the Department of Cardiac Diagnostics.

🔬 Roksana Knapczyk, MSc, PhD student at the Department of Cardiac Diagnostics, presented findings on microvascular function as well as proteomic and metabolomic changes in patients with heritable thoracic aortic disease. The project is carried out in collaboration with Dr Lidia Woźniak-Mielczarek and research partners in Poland and abroad, including the University of Zurich.

🔬 Iga Walczak, MSc, PhD student at the Department of Biochemistry, presented research into mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic remodelling in coronary microvascular endothelial cells obtained from human hearts during transplantation procedures. She also presented a poster on endothelial dysfunction and metabolic alterations preceding the progression of non-culprit coronary lesions following myocardial infarction. Her research is conducted in collaboration with teams from the National Institute of Cardiology, the Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education and MUG’s Department of Cardiology.

🔬 Ada Kawecka, MSc, PhD student at the Department of Biochemistry, presented a poster on alterations in adenosine metabolism in pulmonary sarcoidosis. The study, conducted with Dr Hanna Jankowska and Assoc. Prof. Piotr Siondalski, points to a potential role of this pathway in chronic inflammation and cardiovascular complications.

The MUG delegation also contributed to the Vascular Development and Signaling session, co-chaired by Prof. Barbara Kutryb-Zając and Prof. Michele Castro from the University of São Paulo. The session included research by Isabelly Annunciato from Jagiellonian University, who completed two research visits at MUG in 2026 under Prof. Kutryb-Zając’s supervision.

The participation in MOVD 2026 highlights the strong interdisciplinary collaboration across MUG departments, including Biochemistry, Cardiac Diagnostics, Cardiology, Cardiac and Vascular Surgery, Paediatric Cardiology and Congenital Heart Defects, and the Centre of Experimental Cardiooncology.

It also reflects the longstanding scientific cooperation between research teams in Gdańsk and Kraków, including the Jagiellonian Centre for Experimental Therapeutics (JCET), led by Prof. Stefan Chłopicki. This collaboration builds on the Kraków School of Vascular Endothelial Pharmacology and combines experimental pharmacology, biochemistry and clinical research to investigate mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction and potential therapeutic approaches.

The scientific tradition behind MOVD dates back to the late 1970s and is closely linked to landmark discoveries in vascular physiology, including the discovery of prostacyclin and the identification of nitric oxide as a key signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system. Today, researchers continue to build on this legacy by exploring the molecular and metabolic mechanisms underlying endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease.
