    Zofia Wicik, PhD. Department of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology, Medical University of Warsaw, Center for Preclinical Research and Technology CEPT, Warsaw, Poland.
    Zofia Wicik has fourteen years of experience in the use of bioinformatics tools for data mining, analysis, and integration of large-scale datasets associated with genetics of aging-related diseases. Her main focus is on developing novel biomarker discovery workflows integrating transcriptomic, epigenetic, genomic, and phenomic data with PPI networks. She is designing and analyzing experiments implementing microarray and NGS methodology, including signal pre-processing, statistical analyses, enrichment analyses as well as miRNA and lncRNA targets predictions. She also works with DNA variant annotation, expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), and DNA methylation analyses. During her career, she gained experience as a (i) researcher in the Epigenetics lab, MMRC (Warsaw, PL) while working with projects related to immunosenescence including POLGENOM longevity project; In 2015 she joined (ii) Greally lab (iii) and then in Genetics Department, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, NYC, the US where she participated as a bioinformatician in multiple projects related to the genetics of longevity and aging-related diseases. (iv) In 2018 she moved to Brazil and did a postdoc in the Bone metabolism lab at the Medical University of Sao Paulo, where she worked with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, and coronary calcification. Since 2020 she collaborates with the Center of Mathematics, Computation, and Cognition – UFABC where together with prof David C Martins Jr and dr Sérgio N Simões is developing new algorithms for integrating expression data with PPI networks.
