Three Poles: Mikołaj Frączyk, Przemysław Nogły and Mateusz Sikora, who currently work in Germany, Switzerland and the USA, will return to Poland within the next year and a half thanks to the support from the Dioscuri program. They will establish three new Dioscuri Centers at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow.

Mikołaj Frączyk, currently working as a Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago, will establish a Dioscuri Center for Random Walks in Geometry and Topology at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Jagiellonian University. The partner of the Center will be Roman Sauer from the Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe (KIT) in Germany.

Przemysław Nogły, currently the head of the research group and a scholarship holder of the Ambizione program of the Swiss National Science Foundation at ETH Zurich, will establish the Dioscuri Center for Structural Dynamics of Receptors at the Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology of the Jagiellonian University.

Mateusz Sikora, currently a post-doc at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics (Frankfurt), will create the Dioscuri Center for Modeling Post-translational Modifications at the Małopolska Center of Biotechnology of the Jagiellonian University.
