Pedro holds a degree in Telecommunications Engineering, a master degree in AI research, and a PhD in Bioinformatics from the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland awarded in 2015 with the support of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship. Before joining EMBL-EBI's Expression Atlas team in 2021, he worked as a bioinformatician and computational biologist at the University of Cambridge and the Sanger Institute. He has developed new methods that utilise very large omics datasets to extract biological insights, and worked closely with scientists to bring bioinformatics to complex biological problems.

In addition to workflows for the analysis of multiple forms of omics data, with a focus on transcriptomics, he is interested in space biology and has collaborated with the Multi-Omics AWG of NASA GeneLab. He is a member of the International Standards for Space Omics Processing (ISSOP) consortium, the Space Omics topical team funded by ESA, and a participant of the NASA STAR-3 Program.
