Summary
Anastazja Gorecki is a Lecturer and course coordinator in Biomedicine with eight years of experience bridging neuroscience, microbiology and clinical research into teaching and applied projects. Her PhD, supported by a Fulbright Future Scholarship at Johns Hopkins, examined the gut barrier's role in Parkinson's disease and led to multiple first-author publications. She combines hands-on laboratory skills, data analysis and project management with curriculum development and team leadership to translate complex science into engaging learning. Current research explores microplastics' effects on the gut and the gut-brain axis in neurodegeneration and concussion recovery, reflecting a sustained interest in how lifestyle, diet and environmental exposures shape brain health. Unusually for an academic, she also brings practical wellness practice to her work—a certified 200hr yoga teacher who investigates intersections between mindfulness, breathwork, movement and neuroscience.
