Magdalena started their career as a Master's research project in the Department of Glycoconjugate Biochemistry at Jagiellonian University, where they worked from September 2007 to June 2009. Magdalena then moved on to a research project at CIC bioGUNE under the Leonardo da Vinci program, focusing on Cell Biology and Cancer Cell Stem Unit, from July 2007 to September 2007. Magdalena also had a research project at the University of Antwerp under the ERASMUS program, in the Laboratory of Molecular Biotechnology from February 2008 to June 2008.

Magdalena then pursued a PhD at Cardiff University in the Arthritis Research UK Biomechanics and Bioengineering Centre, where they described a novel signaling pathway regulating transglutaminase 2 release from cells. This project was funded by the Arthritis Research UK Biomechanics and Bioengineering Centre of Excellence. Magdalena worked as a PhD student from October 2009 to September 2013. Following their PhD, they worked as a Research Assistant at Cardiff University from October 2013 to December 2013.

Adamczyk then joined the University of Sheffield as an Arthritis Research UK Foundation Fellow, investigating the role of P2X7 receptor signaling in controlling extracellular transglutaminase 2 activity in cartilage. This project was also funded by the Arthritis Research UK Foundation Fellowship. Magdalena worked in this role from September 2014 to December 2016.

Currently, Adamczyk works at Sygnature Discovery, where they started as a Senior Scientist 1 in January 2017. Magdalena later took on the role of Senior Scientist 2 from October 2018 to August 2022. Magdalena is currently serving as the Lead Scientist for HTS Project Coordination from August 2022 onwards.

Magdalena Adamczyk completed their Master's Degree in Biology, specializing in Cell Biology, at Jagiellonian University from 2004 to 2009. Magdalena then pursued a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Biological and Biomedical Sciences at Cardiff University/Prifysgol Caerdydd, from 2009 to 2013.
