Meet the Ryvers

Małgorzata Hołowczyc

Administration Manager

Working at Ryvu reinforces my belief every day that you don’t necessarily have to be a scientist to contribute to something as significant and meaningful as the drug development process. From the very first day, my role has been to provide support – and since 2015, when I joined the team as an Executive Assistant, through the years that followed, during which I was entrusted with increasingly responsible tasks, up to today, as I lead the administration team – I’ve always felt that my work is both important and appreciated.

Marcin Nowogródzki

Senior Scientist II

Ryvu is a very bold and ambitious undertaking. We bring together in one place a multidimensional and complex research with a goal so close to people – to create help for those who need it. As an organic chemist throughout my years at Ryvu, I have had and continue to have a significant impact on what we do and how we do it. I have always been able to count on the cooperation and support of the inspiring people that Ryvu is made of.

Ewelina Gabor-Worwa

Associate Director, DMPK Group

I’ve joined Ryvu back in 2013, and have to admit that working here continues to be really exciting. To know that you participate in something that complex and important as process of drug development is truly satisfying. Seeing the possibility of curing cancer patients with Ryvu’s drug, making an impact on someone’s life…. I mean, being a scientist, how can you resist that?! You just want to be a part of it.

Ewa Gwiazda

Start Up Specialist, Clinical Operations

Being a part of Ryvu is an incredibly enriching experience for me. Since joining, my career path has gained momentum – I feel seen, appreciated, and have a real impact on what I do. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities, all in the company of fantastic people with whom we create an environment full of support, dedication, and passion. I also have a deep sense that what we do is meaningful and brings real benefits to others.
