A Sano Researcher’s Perspective at “Career in Life Science”

In the world of science and technology, a career often begins with inspiration—a conversation, an example, or an encounter showing science’s power to change the world. The first event in the “Career in Life Science” series, organized by Klaster LifeScience Kraków, Kraków City Hall, and EIT Health, provided exactly that.

Held at the Cluster of Socio-Economic Innovations in Kraków, the meeting drew nearly 60 students and pupils eager to explore biotechnology, medicine, and cutting-edge technologies. Participants discovered how science, technology, and biotech intertwine to advance modern medicine, learning how research ideas turn into real therapies and solutions.

A Young Researcher’s View from Sano

Sabina Martyniak, a PhD student in Medical Imaging and Robotics at Sano – Centre for Computational Medicine, shared her perspective as an emerging researcher and specialist. She illustrated how a life science career blends engineering, data, and artificial intelligence.

“Representing Sano, I explained how we integrate biomedical engineering, data analysis, and AI in medical projects. I also highlighted why data and safe testing environments are crucial for training systems and robots,” says Sabina.

During the discussion, participants explored how advances in artificial intelligence and robotics are transforming diagnostics and disease treatment, along with the future directions of these technologies.

Science as a Catalyst for Action

Kazimierz Murzyn, Director of Klaster LifeScience Kraków, opened the event by encouraging participants to view innovation as the art of overcoming barriers and shifting perspectives. Monika Kozdroń-Sikorska and Dorota Szczepaniak-Krupowska, PhD from ExecMind Life Science Executive Search then presented examples of how modern therapies are developed and what daily work in the biotech industry entails. Finally, Dr hab. Monika Bzowska from Jagiellonian University took participants into the fascinating world of nanotechnology, where nanoscale work enables unprecedented precision in saving health.

Bridging Research and Future Careers

Sano’s participation built a bridge between cutting-edge research and young people starting their life sciences journeys, sharing knowledge and sparking inspiration.
