Ewa Bomba-Warczak PhD | Principal Investigator
Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of Pennsylvania
Ewa received her PhD from University of Wisconsin – Madison in 2017 in the laboratory of Dr. Edwin Chapman, and HHMI Investigator, followed by postdoctoral studies under the mentorship of Dr. Jeffrey Savas at Northwestern University. She has received her B.S. in Biological Sciences with honors from University of Illinois at Chicago under mentorship of Drs. Teresa Orenic and Janet Richmond. Ewa received Jerzy Rose Award for most outstanding graduate thesis in Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, NIH F32 Fellowship and NIH MOSAIC K99 Pathway to Independence Fellowship to Promote Diversity. She is also a co-founder of MITOchats, online seminar series featuring graduate students and postdoctoral fellows working in the field of mitochondria, a Leading Edge Fellow (Class of 2023) and a Keystone Fellow (Class of 2025).
Born and raised on a small farm in Poland, she enjoys travelling, outdoors and nature – especially the beauty of fall and changing seasons. When not in lab, she is most likely spending time with her husband, two children and their dog, or training for another half marathon. Ewa is an avid audible “reader” with nearly 200 titles in her library (mostly thanks to a few years spent in Chicago traffic, but also, she likes to read).
