Research interests

My research is in mathematical modelling of biological systems. My current focus is on stochastic modelling of cell dynamics and interactions in multi-cellular environments. To understand the cellular dynamics (e.g. proliferation,differentiation, and mobility), I follow principles of statistical physics, analysing the collective behaviour of cells and resulting emergent phenomena such as pattern formation, ordering, and phase transitions. My approach is data-driven; by comparison of mathematical models and experimental data through Bayesian methods, I infer the underlying biological principles of multicellular systems in diseases, such as cell proliferation/differentiation in cancer and bacterial growth under antibiotic influence.

Particular research interests (modelling):

Stochastic stem cell population dynamics
Bacterial population dynamics
Antibiotic pharmacodynamics
Evolution of drug resistances
Intracellular transport by motor proteins
Actin and microtubule dynamics
Protein synthesis; traffic of ribosomes
