Marcin Wegrecki
Dr Marcin Węgrecki is currently a postdoctoral fellow in Jamie Rossjohn Lab
at Monash BDI. Marcin received his PhD in Biotechnology from the Polytechnic
University of Valencia (Spain) in 2015. During his doctoral studies in Jerónimo
Bravo’s Lab he specialised in protein biochemistry, crystallography and structural
biology focusing on protein-protein interactions involved in ribosome biogenesis in
Eukaryotes. During his first postdoc at the University of Copenhagen he worked with
Dr Søren Rasmussen on biochemistry and pharmacology of GPCRs. Since joining
the Rossjohn Lab in 2018, Marcin has been studying lipid antigen presentation by
human CD1 proteins and the T cell receptors (TCRs) that recognise them. Marcin’s
research interests also include the field of comparative immunology. His work on the
architecture of a novel class of TCRs found in Marsupials has helped to confirm the
existence of a third T cell lineage, the γμ T cells.
