We are very pleased to announce that, on October 26, 2020, the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland granted us a patent for an invention entitled “Method of producing a preparation with antibacterial properties, a preparation obtained by this method and its use, and a flow reaction-discharge system for carrying out this method” based on patent application No. P.447139, filed on December 18, 2023.

The invention was developed by a team of scientists from the University of Gdańsk and Wrocław University of Science and Technology.

List of inventors: Anna Dzimitrowicz, Agata Motyka-Pomagruk, Dominik Terefinko, Piotr Jamróz, Wojciech Śledź, Jakub Orłowski, Weronika Babińska-Wensierska, Paweł Pohl, and Ewa Łojkowska.

We invite you to listen to a report on our new invention and current research involving cold atmospheric plasmas conducted as a part of the Lider XV project featured in the “AgroFakty” program on Radio Jedynka on October 2, 2026.

“AgroFakty” is a program focused on the economics of agriculture. It provides practical and concise information on food and land prices, regulatory changes regarding crop cultivation and livestock farming, and the effective use of EU funds. Broadcast: Monday through Friday at 5:10 AM.

We cordially invite you to listen to an interview with Dr. Agata Motyka-Pomagruk as part of the “Leader of R&D” podcast produced by NCBR funding agency. The interview focuses on the goals and realisation of the Lider XV project (Lider15/0126/2024) entitled “EcoAgroPlazm Project: innovative, high-throughput, and eco-friendly technology for plant seed decontamination using cold atmospheric pressure plasma”.

News has also been shared on the social media channels of the funding institution (NCBR): LinkedIn and Facebook.

We are delighted to announce that several media reports have appeared disseminating information about an invention developed by us and the scientists from the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. This technology is based on the indirect application of cold atmospheric plasmas in agriculture. The following information from an article on the website of University of Gdańsk Technology Transfer Centre:

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Agata Motyka-Pomagruk, Deputy Head of the Research & Development Laboratory, has received funding of PLN 97,500 for a mini-grant entitled “Development of a prototype technology for the detection of phytopathogenic viruses based on molecular biology methods, along with preparation for the implementation of an innovative diagnostic service into the portfolio of the Research & Development Laboratory of Intercollegiate Faculty of Biotechnology University of Gdańsk and Medical University of Gdańsk” as part of “Science4Business – Science for Business”, Task 1: “Development Incubator.”

Lead partner: Minister of Science and Higher Education. Total project value: PLN 296,700,000. Consortium project value: PLN 17,252,877.00, including Univentum Labs’ share of PLN 1,298,550.

The project is co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund under the European Funds for a Modern Economy 2021–2027 programme.

We will keep you updated on the project’s progress 🙂

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Weronika Babińska-Wensierska, Deputy Technical Manager at the Research and Development Laboratory, has been awarded by the Polish Phytopathological Society for publication record.

Congratulations on the success!

We are pleased to announce that we have secured funding of PLN 2,672,738 for the OPUS 30 project, “Highly efficient treatment of industrial mine wastewater as model environmental samples using cold atmospheric plasma technology for their biosafe reuse in building materials (CAPTURE),” which was acquired by the Wrocław University of Science and Technology in a consortium with the University of Gdańsk from the National Science Centre.

The project manager is PhD Anna Patrycja Dzimitrowicz, a professor at Wrocław University of Science and Technology, and the project manager on behalf of the partner is Dr. Eng. Wojciech Śledź from the Research & Development Laboratory.

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Weronika Babińska-Wensierska, Deputy Head of Technical Affairs at the Research & Implementation Laboratory, has received a distinction in the Gdańsk Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences Award Competition for young scientists in the biological and agricultural sciences for the best creative work published in 2025.

Congratulations on the success!

We are pleased to announce that MSc Kamil Dąbrowski, an employee of the Research & Development Laboratory and a doctoral student at the Intercollegiate Doctoral School of the Faculty of Biotechnology University of Gdańsk and Medical University of Gdańsk, won the first prize in the competition for doctoral students for short presentations at the International Conference on CRAFTing Human Tech-Society, held in Wrocław from 13 until 17 April 2026.

MSc Kamil Dąbrowski presented the objectives of the Lider XV project (LIDER15/0126/2024) headed by Dr. Agata Motyka-Pomagruk, in which he is one of the main investigators.

Congratulations!
