Pawel Paszek

Dr. Pawel Paszek is an Honorary Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health at the Division of Immunology, Immunity to Infection and Respiratory Medicine. He specializes in systems biology approaches to study inflammatory signaling and host-pathogen interactions, particularly focusing on Listeria monocytogenes. His work combines live-cell imaging, quantitative gene expression analysis, and mathematical modeling to understand complex cellular processes.
