Jan Poleszczuk

I graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics at the University of Warsaw (major in mathematics) where I also defended my PhD thesis devoted to mathematical modeling of various aspects of cancer processes. In a so called meantime, I also defended my doctorate in technical sciences at the Silesian University of Technology. Since 2012, I have been employed in the Laboratory of Mathematical Modeling of Physiological Processes at the Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences, of which I have been head since 2018. In the years 2014-2016 I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Moffitt Cancer Center in the United States. From September 2019, I also took over the management of the new Computational Oncology Department at the Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncologyin Warsaw.

As a mathematician and biomedical engineer working in the field of medicine, I try to support biologists, doctors, physicists and chemists with my knowledge. I use mathematical methods to understand how gene mutations work together and how they affect cancer growth, and how various cardiovascular pathologies translate into the characteristics of pulse wave propagation in the arterial system.
