Before Prof. Lulek has been appointed the Head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology at Poznań University of Medical Sciences (PUMS) in 2007, she has worked as a full-time researcher and lecturer in the Department of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry (PUMS). Therefore, for many years Prof. Lulek research were closely related to analytical chemistry, with particular emphasis on ecotoxicological aspects of persistent organic pollutants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorinated pesticides.

Currently research interests of Prof. Lulek are focused on advanced drug delivery systems including nano- and micro-particles for oral administration, mesoporous drug-carrier systems for enhanced delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs as well as drug loaded electrospun scaffolds for tissue engineering. Furthermore her scientific interests encompass other fields connected with modern pharmaceutical technology with particular attention paid to preformulation studies and in-vitro dissolution/ drug release tests of novel drug dosage forms.

Prof. Lulek is the author and co-author of many peer-reviewed papers, and the leader of several scientific projects as well as numerous projects conducted with close cooperation with pharmaceutical industry. Prof. Lulek has supervised five awarded PhD students. Moreover, two of them have defended their doctoral theses based on co-tutelle agreement between PUMS and University of Lorraine in Nancy. Currently she is working with four PhD candidates.
