Konrad Zych is a senior research scientist and bioinformatician with 15 years of experience applying genomics, genetics and metagenomics to industry and research settings. He has held senior bioinformatics and machine learning roles across academia and companies including EMBL, Clinical Microbiomics, Lifebit and Roche, and now leads AI-focused research at Tecnimede Group while co-founding the biotech startup Palmaby. Konrad combines deep computational expertise—from functional genomics and allele-aware analyses to production-ready tooling—with a commitment to open science, data and software stewardship. He is equally at home presenting posters at conferences and designing elegant solutions, and his background uniquely blends a PhD in bioinformatics with formal wine education, reflecting a methodical curiosity beyond the lab.
