Prof. Dr. Rafael Mikolajczyk

Brief Introduction:

At the University Medical Center, I represent the subjects of epidemiology and biometry.

The main focus of my work is the conduct of studies on different aspects of health and health care, where I am primarily responsible for the methodological aspects and the evaluation.

In medical education, I am responsible for teaching methodological skills on clinical trials.
