It was at the Poznan University of Medical Sciences that Dr. Bartlomiej Niznik was first introduced to research. Completing his Master of Science thesis strongly sparked his interest in medication effectiveness, patient safety improvement, and quality of care. Among the topics he had the opportunity to explore, he found these studies to be the most rewarding, especially when working with patients. He is particularly interested in researching various fields of pharmacy, including drug misuse in primary care and medication safety for pregnant women.
After completing his master's degree in pharmacy, he chose to step away from academia to gain practical experience in pharmacy. He moved to Great Britain, where he broadened his professional skills by working as a pharmacist in different pharmacies across the country. He very much enjoyed running a pharmacy and working with patients, yet he could never shake the feeling that his true passion lay in scientific research, teaching, and sharing his knowledge with future generations of researchers. Thus, after seven years as a community pharmacist, he decided that pursuing a PhD at the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department at Poznan University of Medical Sciences might be the perfect next step. Upon completing his PhD in pharmaceutical sciences, he joined the Institute of Primary Health Care (BIHAM) in February 2022.
