244:, head of the Department of General Biology established just after Poland regained independence, jointly approached the Management Board of the Warsaw Scientific Society with the initiative of separating these three departments from all TNW laboratories and establishing an independent organization called the Institute of Experimental Biology. Marceli Nencki. It was based on three pre-existing laboratories affiliated with the Scientific Society of Warsaw (Towarzystwo Naukowe Warszawskie): Laboratory of Neurobiology (in existence since 1911), Laboratory of Physiology (in existence since 1913) and Laboratory of General Biology (established in 1918). Formation and development of the Institute were supported in part by a donation of Nadine Sieber-Shumova, a close co-worker of 33: 219:
The research at the Department of Cell Biology is chiefly directed towards elucidating signalling cascades and regulatory mechanisms of gene expression involved in tumour transformation and the immune response, including the participation of membrane lipids in signal transfer by immunoreceptors, as

The Institute's scientific teams conduct research in neurobiology, neurophysiology, and molecular biology. The experiments are interdisciplinary in character. The research concentrates on systems of varying complexity, from whole organisms through tissues, individual cells, cellular organelles to

The Neurobiology Center conducts interdisciplinary basic research (based on, for example, brain imaging, animal modeling, or bioinformatics) as well as research on novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods in relation to the nervous system. This work is conducted in collaboration with many Warsaw

Two European Centres of Excellence were recently formed within the Institute. The Institute has a Ph.D. programme shared with the 223:
The Department of Biochemistry concentrates its research efforts on describing the molecular mechanisms of lipid-induced insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, the regulation of calcium-mediated signal pathways, kinesine functioning, the role of mitochondria in the maintenance of cellular

The research conducted in the Departments of Neurophysiology and Molecular and Cell Neurobiology mainly deals with the cognitive functions of the Brain. The dominant theme is the plasticity of the nervous system under normal and pathological conditions. We study the effects of stroke and

As of January 1, 2014, the Nencki Institute has once again become the owner of the Mikołajki Research Station . The Station is the site of research in the areas of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem ecology and

The surviving staff members (professors Jan Dembowski, Jerzy Konorski, and WĹ‚odzimierz Niemierko) re-established the Nencki Institute. In 1952 the Institute was incorporated into the newly founded
