Julia Resch – Best Student from English Division! On December 5th, the Rector, Prof. Piekarski, presented a congratulatory diploma to the best student from English Division, Ms. JULIA RESCH. The meeting, held in the Rector’s office, was attended by the Vice-Dean for Studies in English, Prof. Sebastian Kłosek and Ms. Magdalena Kaczorowska, a Student’s Coordinator. Julia Resch is a student in the 6-year medical program. She came to us from Koblenz in western Germany in 2019. Over the past few years, she has actively participated in various research projects. The most significant of these was her collaboration with Prof. Gaszyński and the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care at Barlicki Hospital in Łódź. Together with the clinic’s team, she conducted a study comparing the benefits of using the Miller and Macintosh laryngoscopes in patients with morbid obesity. This project earned her first place in the Surgery and Transplantation category at the JPM 2024 Conference and resulted in her first published article. Additionally, Ms. Julia is an active member of the Non-Invasive Cardiology Scientific Circle, led by Prof. Lelonek. In this role, she organizes workshops for other students and participates in a project investigating low doses of naltrexone as a potential treatment for long-term Covid-19. She also holds a research position in the Department of Gynecologic Oncology at the Polish Mother’s Memorial Hospital Research Institute in Łódź. Currently, she is focusing on a research project on dysmenorrhea in adolescents. Besides her scientific and research activities, Ms. Julia has been a member of the student government for years, serving as the chairperson in the 2021/2022 academic year. She is always eager to engage in social activities, organizing social and integration events at our university. CONGRATULATIONS TO MS. JULIA!
