Grażyna Adamus is a professor at the Centre of Polymer and Carbon Materials, Polish Academy of Sciences (CPCM PAS), with which her scientific career has been closely associated. Her main scientific interests are related to the synthesis of copolymers, blends and novel polymeric materials of controlled biodegradability, containing synthetic analogues of natural PHAs with made-to-order structure and properties. She also has extensive experience in applying mass spectrometry techniques to the structural study of synthetic polymers at the molecular level, documented by publications in indexed scientific journals. Her current research involves the synthesis of biocompatible and fully biodegradable polymeric biomaterials, which contain structural units derived from PHA biopolyesters with controlled molecular structure and established physical chemical properties suitable for envisaged applications in medicine, environmental protection and cosmetology. She is the author or co-author of over 100 scientific publications, with over 1700 total citations (Web of Knowledge) without self-citations, and an H-index of 29 (Web of Knowledge). She has also produced 10 book chapters, 7 patents, and more than 200 presentations at national and international conferences. Moreover, Prof. Adamus has taken part in many national and international research projects, managing several of them. She has supervised 4 PhD students (plus 2 in progress).
