Jakub Wojciechowski

Jakub Wojciechowski is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Structural and Functional Genomics Group at Wrocław University of Science and Technology. He holds a Master’s in Bioinformatics and a doctoral degree in Biomedical Engineering from the same institution. His research focuses on developing bioinformatic tools to study amyloid proteins, their interactions, and their role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. He employs machine learning and large-scale data analysis to explore amyloids in microbial systems and their implications for human health.

Key research areas include the transcriptomic profiling of pathogens like Naegleria fowleri, the structural characterization of amyloid-forming proteins, and the computational prediction of amyloidogenic regions. His work bridges bioinformatics, structural biology, and microbiology, with a particular emphasis on linking gut microbiome amyloids to neurodegeneration.

Wojciechowski has contributed to databases like AmyloGraph and developed algorithms such as PACT and pAtH for predicting amyloid interactions and propensities. His studies highlight the interdisciplinary nature of modern biomedical research, integrating experimental methods with computational modeling.
