Prof. WIENCH obtained her PhD in the Centre of Oncology in Gliwice, Poland, after which she joined Dr Gordon Hager’s laboratory at the National Cancer Institute, NIH in Bethesda, before moving to the University of Birmingham to study oral cancer.. She has extensive expertise in cancer biology, epigenetic regulation, chromatin biology and -omics, with publications in Nature Cell Biology, EMBO J and Molecular Cell. More recently, her research has focused on oral epithelial biology, organotypic in vitro models, epithelial–stromal interactions and single-cell approaches. Current projects incorporate tuneable matrix hydrogels and interactions with implants, immune cells and oral biofilms.

In September 2026, Prof. WIENCH will be invited to NITech by Prof. Obata for collaboration in research of Biomaterials applications in in vitro models.

Title of given lecture in NITech: Organotypic models of oral mucosa – biological and mechanical perspectives
