About
Senior Researcher, Marcin W. Wojewodzic, is a system biologist specializing in computational biology. He uses a ONE HEALTH approach that integrates methods used in transcriptomics, epigenomics, biostatistics, neuronal network, physiology and network concepts. He uses novel machine learning approaches, including deep learning (A.I.). He applies these skills for human toxicology, human and environmental health, as well as modeling. His daily labs are supercomputers, however he also has lab experience. At Cancer Registry, part of The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) he is hunting for biomarkers from Janus Serum Biobank and MoBa. Currenly leading project on PFAS and kidney and testicular cancer. At NIPH he is also establishing Next Generation Risk Assessment of Chemicals using organoids models. He integrates omics approaches to comprehend biological processes. He supervises Master Students and Postdoctoral Fellows. He also have advisory work to Norwegian Environmental Agency and The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM).
