Biography
Ryszard Maleszka received his MSc and a PhD in Genetics from the University of Warsaw and has done postdoctoral work at the National Research Council of Canada before moving to Australia in 1987. He is spearheading a research theme called ‘From Molecules to Behaviour’ that uses invertebrate model systems to study the genotype to phenotype link, and to understand how epigenetic networks contribute to environmentally-driven phenotypic plasticity. He is a member of several genomic consortia and advisor to genomic databases. He authored over 135 articles and book chapters including a number of landmark papers in Science and Nature.
