Cellular Genetics Informatics

I work in Cellular Genetics Informatics group as a Solution Architect building a large-scale data infrastructure to provide fast and easy access to petabytes of heterogeneous imaging data sets for Human Cell Atlas. I hold Master degree in Software Engineering obtained from University of Technology in Lodz. My main interest of research and development is in the area of data resources for life science.
