My main interest is to develop models for multicellular develpmental systems in
collaboration with experimental biologists. Included in this is models for gene
regulation, molecular reactions and transport, as well as models for cellular
growth and proliferation and mechanical interactions. Some projects include:
Mechanical signals in plant shoot development.
In a HFSP-sponsered collaboration with the
groups of Jan Traas in Lyon and Elliot Meyerowitz at Caltech.

The paper Developmental patterning by mechanical signals in Arabidopsis
has been published (with cover) in the December 12 issue of Science.
A swedish press release can be
found here, and high resolution pictures can be found here.

Plant stem cell regulation and phyllotaxis.
In collaboration with Eric
Mjolsness at UCI, and the Meyerowitz group at
Caltech. (Computable plant)
Bacterial and yeast cell colony growth.
Together with Andre
Levchenko at the Johns Hopkins University.
Planar cell polarity and auxin distributions in the plant root.
In collaboration with Markus Grebe at Umeå Plant Science Center.
The TGF-b signalling pathway.
In Collaboration with Carsten
Peterson at CBBP and P. ten Dijke in Leiden.
Optimization, from parameter fitting to combinatorial optimization.
Relating back to my PhD work with my thesis advisor Bo Söderberg.
