Michał Karlicki

Michał Karlicki is a researcher at the Faculty of Biology, University of Warsaw, specializing in the ecology of aquatic ecosystems, bioinformatics, and meta-omics approaches. His work focuses on interspecies interactions among protists and prokaryotes, leveraging machine learning to analyze eukaryotic microorganism diversity.

• Research Projects: Biodiversity analysis of eukaryotic microorganisms at saline-freshwater borders using 18S rRNA amplicon sequencing.
• Technical Expertise: Meta-omics data analysis, pipeline development (e.g., MetaPlastHunter), and single-cell genomics.

Scientific Trends: His recent publications emphasize machine learning integration with metagenomics, plastid genome exploration, and environmental DNA dynamics in aquatic and soil systems.

• Scientific Awards: Holz-Conner Travel Grant (2019)
• Honors: Distinction in Best Master Thesis in Bioinformatics (2019)

Labs & Teams: Affiliated with the Eukaryotic Microorganisms Genomics and Evolution group, collaborating on international projects with institutions like Nanyang Technological University and the Phycological Society of America.
