I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Warsaw, specializing in computational molecular biology. My expertise lies in developing and applying computational methods to analyze biological data, with the aim of uncovering valuable insights into the biological mechanisms governing human health and disease. In recent years, my research has been primarily focused on understanding the origins of cancer. Specifically, I investigate the footprints left by mutagenic processes that contribute to the development and progression of cancer.

My research is supported by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) via a Polish Returns grant.
