Elzbieta Wojaczynska received her M.Sc. Eng. degree in organic chemistry from the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in 1997. Her doctoral thesis on the enantioselective synthesis and application of chiral sulfoxides was completed under the supervision of Prof. Jacek Skarzewski in 2001. Her research at the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology concentrates on the synthesis of new chiral building blocks and novel chiral ligands and catalysts for asymmetric synthesis and biomedical applications.

Jacek Wojaczynski graduated in chemistry from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry of the University of Wroclaw in 1993. Five years later, he defended his Ph.D. thesis on metalloporphyrin modifications at the Faculty of Chemistry of the same university (supervisor: Prof. L. Latos-Grazynski). He is a member of the Metalloporphyrin Chemistry Group at this faculty, and his research field includes oligoporphyrins, heme proteins, and degradation of oligopyrrolic macrocycles.
