Dr. Darzynkiewicz's research concentrates on cell biology with particular focus on cancer cell growth and the regulatory mechanisms associated with cell proliferation, apoptosis and sensitivity to anti-tumor drugs. He developed several analytical techniques to analyze metabolic parameters related to cell cycle kinetics, prognosis of tumor progression and apoptosis that have world-wide application. He is the past President of the Cell Kinetics Society (1986-87) and also President of the International Society for Analytical Cytology (1993-1994). Since 1972 his research has been continuously supported, including a prestigious MERIT award, by the grants from National Institute of Health. He was also a recipient of a grant from NASA to develop technologies for cell staining and analysis applicable to the micro-gravity conditions of the Space Station.
