Dariusz Plewczynski interests are focused on functional and structural genomics. Functional genomic attempts to make use of the vast wealth of data produced by high-throughput genomics projects, such as the structural genomics consortia, human genome project, 1000 genomes project, ENCODE and many others. The major tools that are used in this interdisciplinary research endeavor include statistical data analysis (GWAS studies, clustering, machine learning), genomic variation analysis using diverse data sources (karyotyping, confocal microscopy, aCGH microarrays, next-generation sequencing: both whole genome and whole exome), bioinformatics (protein sequence analysis, protein structure prediction), and finally biophysics (polymer theory and simulations) and genomics (epigenetics, genome domains, three-dimensional structure analysis of chromatin). He is presently involved in several big data informatics projects at Faculty of Mathematics and Information Sciences at Warsaw University of Technology, biological experiments at the Centre of New Technologies at University of Warsaw (his second affiliation), collaborating closely with The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (an international partner of the TEAM project), and The Centre for Innovative Research at Medical University of Bialystok (UMB). He was actively participating in two large consortia projects, namely 1000 Genomes Project (NIH) by bioinformatics analysis of genomic data from aCGH arrays and NGS (next-generation sequencing, deep coverage) experiments for structural variants (SV) identification; and biophysical modeling of chromatin three-dimensional conformation inside human cells using HiC and ChIA-PET techniques within the 4D Nucleome project funded by the NIH in the USA. His goal is to combine the SV data with three-dimensional cell nucleus structure for better understanding of normal genomic variation among human populations, the natural selection process during human evolution, mammalian cell differentiation, and finally the origin, pathways, progression and development of cancer and autoimmune diseases.

 

Debotosh Bhattacharjee is working as a full professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Jadavpur University, with fifteen years of post-Ph.D. experience. His research interests pertain to the applications of machine learning techniques for face recognition, gait analysis, hand geometry recognition, and diagnostic image analysis. He has authored or co-authored more than 280 journals, conference publications, including several book chapters in the areas of biometrics and medical image processing. Two US patents have been granted on his works. He has been granted sponsored projects by the Govt. of India funding agencies like Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), University Grants Commission (UGC) with a total amount of around INR 2 Crore. For postdoctoral research, he has visited different universities abroad like the University of Twente, The Netherlands; Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal; University of Bologna, Italy; ITMO National Research University, St. Petersburg, Russia; University of Ljubljana, Slovenia; Northumbria University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK, and Heidelberg University, Germany. He is Life Member of Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE, New Delhi), Indian Unit for Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (IUPRAI), Senior Member of IEEE (USA) and Fellow of West Bengal Academy of Science and Technology.
