Prof. Aleksandra Klimczak, awarded the Gold Cross of Merit

It is with pride and joy that we announce that Prof. Aleksandra Klimczak, Head of the Laboratory of Biology of Stem and Neoplastic Cells at the IIET PAS, has been honoured with the Gold Cross of Merit – a prestigious state decoration awarded for outstanding service to the state and its citizens.

The honour was conferred by Karol Nawrocki, President of the Republic of Poland, by a decision dated 17 September this year. The ceremonial presentation of the Cross took place on 15 October this year, during the celebrations of Ludwik Hirszfeld Day at the IIET PAS. The award was presented by the President of the Wrocław Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Prof. Piotr Biler.

The Gold Cross of Merit is an expression of special recognition for individuals whose activities and achievements bring significant benefits to the state or its citizens. Established in 1923, the honour highlights the value of commitment and achievements that go beyond the scope of ordinary duties.

Professor’s award is a source of pride for the entire IIET PAS community, and at the same time an expression of recognition for her commitment and achievements, which make a significant contribution to the development of science and benefit society.

We warmly congratulate the Professor on this prestigious honour and wish her continued scientific success and many reasons for satisfaction!
