Cellular Genetics Informatics

I work in Cellular Genetics Informatics group as a software development engineer, building a large-scale data infrastructure to store, visualise and manage petabytes of life science 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.
