Elzbieta Holsztynska

Ela is a published author of multiple scientific papers. She holds a PhD in pharmacology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, followed by post-doctoral research at Harvard Medical School, and has had a successful career in the biotech and pharma industry. Even as a little girl, Ela had always been amazed by the number of unanswered questions out there and fascinated by the quest for answers. As she explored the art treasures of Rome, Florence and Venice, and played and listened to countless hours of Bach and Chopin music, Ela was, interestingly, inspired to find new insights in science. To Ela, the trick is to ask questions using language that Mother Nature can understand so as to produce the answers. (Then, it all comes down to understanding the answers!) Visual art and music help to find the clues, and Ela’s current quest is to patent novel targets for the control of Alzheimer’s disease.
