Biography

Dr. Dubielecka is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University and head of the Signal Transduction Lab. She is also an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, and holds an adjunct appointment in the Division of Hematology/Oncology in the Department of Medicine at Rhode Island Hospital.

Dr. Dubielecka received her undergraduate and PhD degrees from the University of Wroclaw, Poland. She was a scholar of the Socrates/Erasmus Programme established by the European Commission, and trained at the University of Helsinki, Finland and at Charles University in Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic.
