Wojciech Rychlik
Wojciech Rychlik is a biologist and photographer, born in Poland and living in the USA since 1980. Rychlik received his Ph.D. in 1980 from the Polish Academy of Sciences. Currently, he is a president of Molecular Biology Insights, Inc. located in Cascade, Colorado.
The main focus of Rychlik's research was PCR primer design.[1][2][3] He is known for developing the OLIGO Primer Analysis Software.,[4] the first software optimizing conditions for PCR.[3][5] Before moving to the industry sector in 1991, he was instrumental in discovery of human protein synthesis initiation factor eIF-4 mRNA [6] working as Assistant Res. Professor at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky.
Rychlik is a nature photographer, member of the Photographic Society of America.[7] In 2007 and 2008 he was the top-ranked exhibitor in PSA stereo electronic section.[8][9] As a photographer he is better known as Wojtek Rychlik.
