Dariusz Płąchocki, Ph. D.
Founder of LNRA and creator of the first laboratory in Poland specializing in environmental DNA (eDNA) research. Graduate of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, PhD in biological sciences.
Since childhood, he has been fascinated by nature—its aesthetics, complexity, and mechanisms of functioning.For almost 20 years, he has been conducting implementation work in the field of environmental protection, including preparation and realization of investments that may pose a threat to the environment, as well as development and implementation of nature protection plans and strategies. He specializes in the ecology of aquatic ecosystems and is actively involved in creating environmental protection systems, supporting and participating in scientific and social initiatives for nature conservation. As part of his passion, he implements innovative solutions that help prevent the progressive loss of complexity in natural systems and the values they represent.

Kalina Kołacka, MSc
Graduate of environmental biology from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. She has five years of experience in environmental research.
Through her fascination with the secrets of the world of ichthyofauna, she began to expand her knowledge about fish, their environment and their functioning. Currently, she specializes in aquatic fauna, and thanks to the knowledge and experience she has gained, she also has extensive knowledge of other aspects of the environment.
She has participated in numerous projects concerning environmental monitoring and inventory work. She has drawn great satisfaction from this and does not intend to stop there.

Dariusz Węcławek, MSc
Graduate of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń in the field of environmental protection. A naturalist with 13 years of experience.
From an early age, he has been observing fauna and flora. It was then that his fascination and love for wildlife were born, which he transformed into his life’s passion. Currently, he specializes in vertebrate zoology and is especially fascinated by the winged part of this group of animals—avifauna and chiropterofauna. He is the initiator, originator, and coordinator of many active conservation activities for rare and endangered animal species. He derives particular satisfaction from their implementation and the monitoring of their effects. He is involved in the development and preparation of conservation plans, environmental monitoring and inventory work, as well as educational activities and campaigns. He has experience in the implementation and management of environmental projects funded from external sources. As a ringer, he cooperates with the Ornithological Station of the Museum and Institute of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Gdańsk.
He spends most of his time in the field, and involvement in environmental protection is his way of life.

Kinga Walczak, MSc
Head of the eDNA Laboratory, graduate of forensic biology and molecular diagnostics, and currently a PhD student at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. She is a laboratory technician with a passion for exploring the world around us using molecular biology, with a particular emphasis on environmental DNA analysis. In her work, she focuses on the use of modern technologies that allow not only the study of biodiversity but also the monitoring and protection of ecosystems.
She specializes in sequencing methods such as NGS, nanopore sequencing, and real-time PCR, which enable the quick and effective detection of rare, endangered, or invasive species, constituting an important tool in environmental monitoring. Her experience also includes confocal microscopy, which she uses for precise visualization of larval stages of flies, a valuable asset in entomology.
She developed her skills during numerous internships in Poland and abroad, including at the Natural History Museum in London and in Copenhagen. For many years, her interests have also included forensic entomology.

Dominik Knop, MSc
Graduate of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń in the fields of forensic biology and molecular diagnostics. He has been involved in laboratory work for 5 years.
An interest in science and processes occurring in the environment has accompanied him from an early age. The desire to pursue his interests led him to take up work related to molecular research used in nature conservation. His experience includes a wide range of laboratory analyses related to many fields, such as microbiology and genetics.
He specializes in biodiversity research using molecular biology techniques. Nevertheless, fieldwork is not foreign to him, and he is eager to take on challenges associated with work outside the laboratory. Environmental protection is an important part of his life.
