Biography

Magdalena Matusiak develops new spatial biology tools to understand macrophages and how they contribute to tissue pathology. Her work has established clinical sample-compatible markers for human macrophage subsets, demonstrating that distinct macrophage populations are spatially segregated within tissues and reflect different types of immune responses. These insights are predictive of clinical patient outcomes, allowing for more personalized approaches to treatment. As an instructor, she engages in professional education and collaborates with various organizations to enhance scientific understanding and programming capabilities in data. Her academic background includes a PhD in Innate Immunity from Ghent University, Belgium, and both a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from the University of Gdańsk Medical University in Poland. Through these experiences, she aims to uncover clinically relevant prognostic markers associated with myeloid cell biology.
