Dariusz Plewczynski, is a professor at University of Warsaw in Center of New Technologies CeNT, Warsaw, Poland, the head of Laboratory of Functional and Structural Genomics, and the principal investigator at Mathematics and Information Science Department at Warsaw University of Technology. His interests are focused on functional and structural genomics attempts to make use of the vast wealth of data produced by high-throughput genomics projects, such as the structural genomics consortia, human genome project, 1000 Genomes Project, ENCODE, and many others. The major tools that are used in this interdisciplinary research endeavor include statistical data analysis (GWAS studies, clustering, machine learning), genomic variation analysis using diverse data sources (karyotyping, confocal microscopy, aCGH microarrays, next-generation sequencing: both whole genome and whole exome), bioinformatics (protein sequence analysis, protein structure prediction), and finally biophysics (polymer theory and simulations) and genomics (epigenetics, genome domains, three-dimensional structure analysis of chromatin).
