Dominika Gruszka is a Wellcome Trust and Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the Department of Physics and Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, University of Oxford. She obtained a MSc degree in Physical Biochemistry from the Jagiellonian University (Poland, 2008) and a PhD in Structural Biology from the University of York (UK, 2013). In 2012-2015, Dominika was a postdoctoral research associate in the laboratory of Prof Jane Clarke, University of Cambridge, where she employed ensemble and single-molecule biophysical techniques to dissect protein-mediated biofilm formation in bacteria. In 2015, she joined the laboratory of Dr Hasan Yardimci at the Francis Crick Institute to study eukaryotic DNA replication using single-molecule imaging in Xenopus egg extracts. In 2022, Dominika established her own laboratory at the Department of Physics and Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, University of Oxford. Her group combines single-molecule imaging with chemical and physical approaches to study the molecular mechanisms underpinning chromatin dynamics during DNA replication.
