Jakub Paś (born September 27, 1977, in Śrem) is a Polish scientist and developer. He is a doctor of chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.
Pas was born in 1977 in Śrem, a small town near Poznan. He attended No. 4 Primary School in Śrem and the Józef Wybicki High School in Śrem; at that time, he succeeded as a laureate of Polish Mathematics Olympiad. In 2001, he was awarded the MSc in Biotechnology title at the Faculty of Biochemistry of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań; his thesis Sequential and structural analysis of proteins related to the BcFA (methyl branched-chain fatty acids), supervised by Leszek Rychlewski, was awarded distinction in of that year. In 2013, he defended his PhD thesis in chemistry, Application and implementation of probabilistic profile-profile comparison methods for protein fold recognition [1] [2] [3] (under the supervision of Marcin Hoffmann). He also completed IT Project Management postgradual study on WSB School of Banking Poznan with thesis Transformation of the IT department and change of the technological process while maintaining the continuity of the product
Already during his MSc course, Pas took an Socrates-Erasmus internship at the University Of Edinburgh under Lucy A Harrier supervision worked on bionformatics project explaining genomics of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. During his master's Pas worked on REFLAX [4] European project (for Rational Engineering of FLAX) that aimed at the integration of metabolic, physiological, molecular biological, genetical, structural biological, proteomics and bioinformatics studies to provide a basis for the rational engineering of oilseeds towards the production of BcFAs. Part of that research was included in his MSc thesis. Upon receiving his PhD degree, he was employed as research scientist in Bioinfobank Institute, Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute and Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He also worked on fellowship in Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics and University of Catania. In 2007 Pas was granted Marie Curie Fellowship at Politehnica University of Bucharest where he received International Supercomputing Conference Poster Award for work GPGPU Accelerated Sparse Linear Solver for Fast Simulation of On-Chip Coupled Problems. In 2009 he received Marie Curie Reintegration Grant. As of 2018 Jakub Pas is employed at GSK plc.
Pas research focuses on the application of computational methods for protein structure prediction, fold recognition and phylogeny, investigation of the structure of molecules [5] and the interactions between them. [6] During his work in Bioinfobank Institute Jakub Pas was involved in multiple European project such as ELM, SEPSDA, NARCISUS, DATAGENOME or BIOSAPIENS. [7] His applied work focuses on automation in pharmaceutical research, Continuous Integration / Continuous Development ( CI/CD) and test automation in highly regulated industry. The results of his scientific research include:
These and other studies resulted in authorship and co-authorship of ca. 20 publications (21 according to Google Scholar), including highly prestigious scientific journals, such as Science, Nucleic Acid Research and Gene. His papers are increasingly cited year after year (totalling 1050 - Google Scholar), which yields 11 citations per publication and the h-index of 11. [25]
Since 2002, Pas has been actively training phylogeny and bioinformatics. He was also leading course molecular modeling and prediction of spatial structure of proteins. In 2004 Pas was leading Summer modeling school at Laboratory of Bioinformatics, Institute of Physics on Adam Mickiewicz University.
Jakub Pas is currenttly working as Principal Automation Engineer in GSK plc. He is involved in open source software development and organizing Linux user group meetings. He is also a member of Project Management Institute and author of articles about contemporary music. [26] [27] [28] [29]
