Since September 2011 I am sharing my time between Lund and the Sainsbury Laboratory at University of Cambridge. My travel schedule.

Research:

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. The research is within the emerging field of Computational Morphodynamics.

Publications

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.

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.
