Depending on the situation, I have a number of roles in a number of fields:

Bioinformatics/genomics – I’m an assistant professor at Warsaw University, where I teach bioinformatics and work on annotation of data mostly from next generation sequencing studies. I do sequence analysis of single proteins, including homology modelling, build annotation pipelines and glue software together in a few other projects. If you are really interested, here’s my publication list.

Systems biology – I’m a research scientist at Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics PAS where I study protein-protein interaction networks in several systems such as human red blood cell, pathogenic bacteria or yeast. I also spend a lot of time thinking about biocomplexity at molecular level, learn about complex adaptive systems and play with various ideas around these topics.

Industrial R&D – I’m a director of Systems Institute, small non-profit research organization. We help to create innovations faster and then move them to the market, by taking communication and project management issues off our academic and industrial partners. Contrary to what you might expect, our focus lies outside of life sciences technologies.

Science 2.0 – I do science online. I was blogging for over two years over at Freelancing Science (now closed, but kept online). I speak about Science 2.0 phenomenon, I teach about its various aspects. I also experiment with different approaches to scientific career (as an example, I worked as a freelance scientist for quite a while) and to research itself. See above.

Visual side - I make scientific visualizations and shoot photographs at night. I create molecular graphics (my images released under Creative Commons license were used online by – among others – Scientific American, Wired, New York Public Radio and Discovery Magazine), generative art and lots of plots and mindmaps of different kinds.
