We are a computational biology lab re-imagining photosynthesis for the future of sustainable agriculture and green innovation. Our mission bridges three core areas: cutting-edge research, where we design integrative models to predict plant performance under real-world stress; transformative teaching, where students gain hands-on skills in coding, systems biology, and data science through hackathons and open-source tools; and citizen science & outreach, where we connect plant modelling to solutions for climate change, urban greening, and food security. By uniting mathematics, biology, and global sustainability, we aim to inspire the next generation of scientists, partners, and citizens to join us in shaping resilient crops, smart cities, and a climate-ready future.
How do genetic differences shape the way plants capture light, process carbon, and survive drought? Join us for a unique, fast-paced hackathon bringing together data scientists, plant researchers, software engineers, and innovators to uncover the links between genotypic variation and photosynthetic performance

Our group offers several opportunities to learn about computational biology within both bachelor's and master's programs. We are using different formats ranging from two weeks long, intensive courses to semester long lectures with exercises. We are also offering a possibility to do your internship with us! If you are interested, please contact Prof. Matuszyńska directly.
