Piotr Drabik, former head of the Biological Regeneration Lab and Assistant Professor at the University School of Physical Education in Gdansk, wrote articles for Stadion News on use of supplements in sports training, on how physical efforts affect immunity, and on the mechanisms of fatigue.

Currently a NSERC Visiting Fellow at National Institute for Nanotechnology, National Research Council of Canada, Edmonton, Alberta. Before that a NSERC Visiting Fellow at Biotechnology Research Institute, National Research Council of Canada, Montreal, Quebec.

He holds a Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology from the University School of Physical Education in Gdansk. The thesis was awarded by the Prime Minister of Poland as the best Ph.D. dissertation in Poland in 1998, a M.Sc. in Biological Regeneration and Physiotherapy (University School of Physical Education in Gdansk), a M.Sc. in Molecular Biology (Faculty of Biology, Geography and Oceanography, University of Gdansk). He also has a Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry (Faculty of Chemistry, University of Gdansk) and a M.Sc. in Astrophysics (Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Gdansk).

Thanks to his background in physiology, molecular biology, and chemistry, Piotr Drabik offers state-of-the art insight to knowledge about supplementation and speeding up recovery.

His fluency in English, Polish, and Russian, and his direct professional contacts with the Institutes of Physical Education and Sports in Poland, Russia, and Ukraine keep him very well-informed of the latest research and practices of leaders in the use of means of recovery.
