Summary
Magdalena Strzelecka is a multidisciplinary leader with 11 years of experience at the intersection of gene therapy, data science and digital systems, currently serving as Principal Scientist and Director for Data & Digital Systems at Roche in Munich. She builds end-to-end digital ecosystems and intact digital threads across R&D and manufacturing, combining GMP/controlled environments with agile nGMP delivery to maximize value for both data producers and consumers. Her background spans hands-on bioinformatics and computational biology to data architecture, data mesh and platform engineering, with practical expertise in Python, Java/TypeScript, cloud (GCP/AWS), CI/CD and IIoT integrations. Magdalena has led cross-functional teams to operationalize data products in biotech and automotive contexts, driving measurable ROI through data-informed innovation and federated governance. Notably, she moved from academic postdoctoral research in genomics and imaging at UC Berkeley and MPI-CBG into strategic digital transformation roles, giving her rare credibility across wet lab, computational and product domains. She is pragmatic about delivering compliant, user-centric digital solutions that keep patient needs and experimental realities central.
