Cycling

Fixed gear race in the south of Sweden. 110 km full of sweat, gravel and sunshine. Does it get any better?

Word cloud

This was created with wordle and is based on the full text from all my papers so far. Probably gives a good picture of what I spend my time on.

Evolution

Yesterday I got a paper accepted in the journal Evolution. The title of paper is "Productivity and diversity in a cross-feeding population of artificial organisms" and investigates the dynamics and properties of a new Alife-platform called Urdar. Please have a look at the preprint and the very nice applet.

Various Aspects of Evolution

On February the 4th I'm going to Gothenburg University for a whole day of talk on various aspects of evolution. Looking forward to it.

First Meeting

Some impressions from the meeting in Uppsala. Firstly Eva Kisdi and Philip Maini delivered excellent tutorials on Adaptive Dynamics and Pattern Formation respectively. The second day of the meeting offered talks from participants, and it was interesting to see how broad the field of maths biology is in Sweden, ranging from population dynamics to biofilm modelling. Already looking forward to next years meeting to be held in Göteborg.

Meeting in Uppsala and Holidays

Tomorrow I'm travelling to the meeting in Uppsala on Mathematical Biology, and after that it's Christmas time.

Back from Florida

I'm just back from a 2 week research visit at the Moffitt Cancer Center, where I have been working on cancer modelling, or more specifically, the relation between tissue homeostasis and cancer initiation. At the moment we're trying to develop a model in which we hope to analyse different modes of homeostasis, which in the long run will be used as a starting point for models of cancer.
