Prof. Jan Maciej Zaucha, head of the Department of Haematology and Transplantology at the Medical University of Gdansk, has won an award in the Principal Investigator category of the Medical Research Agency’s Medicine of Tomorrow competition.

Prof Zaucha is carrying out two ABM-funded projects at the Gdansk university for a total of almost PLN 37 million.
