Daniel Wiczew from the Doctoral School of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology received the prestigious Eiffel Excellence scholarship. The French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs awards them to the best foreign students. Thanks to the grant, the doctoral student will continue his studies at the Université de Lorraine.

The young scientist focuses on using enhanced learning to predict the behavior of proteins in the cell membrane. This may allow you to guess the effect of a mutation on a given protein, e.g. to explain the occurrence of Brugada syndrome (a rare genetic heart disease), or the inactivity of a given drug on a particular protein.

Excellence is a prestigious program for foreigners who want to study in France. Scholarship holders receive a monthly scholarship of 1181 euros (master’s studies) or 1400 euros (doctoral students). They also receive funding for return travel costs, health insurance, as well as discounts on cultural attractions.
