Aleksandra Karolak

Aleksandra Karolak is the Assistant Member in the Machine Learning Department at the Moffitt Cancer Center, where she leads the Molecular AI Lab. She moved to the USA with an MSc in Metal-organic Chemistry from Adam Mickiewicz University in Posen, Poland (1995-2000). She earned her PhD in Computational and Biophysical Chemistry from the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL, United States (2010-2015). Her research focused on the application and development of computational algorithms to study conformational changes in DNA and proteins. After completing her PhD, Dr. Karolak underwent her first postdoctoral training in the Integrated Mathematical Oncology Department at Moffitt Cancer Center also in Tampa (2015-2018) working on development of mathematical models for i) imaging and therapeutic agents delivery to solid tumors and ii) organoids growth. Her second postdoctoral training took place at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine in Barcelona, Spain, during which she held a pres
