Gunnar Cedersund
My basic training is in theoretical physics, where I have a M.Sc from Linköping university, but
since my M.Sc. project I have been working with systems biology. First I worked in
Copenhagen, on the insulin-producing
beta cells, then at ISY in Linköping for 3 years, and at
FCC in Gothenburg for 2 years.
During those latter 5 years I did my Ph.D. thesis, which main accomplishment
was the development of a new modelling approach: core-box modelling. Up until then I had only worked in
theoretical, typically engineering, groups. After my Ph.D. I returned to Linköping, to build up my
own systems biology group, at the experimental department IKE.
During the first 4 years, I was also travelling 2 times a year for 1-2 months visits
to various groups in the world: e.g., to Hiroaki
Kitano, Stefan Hohmann, and
Jens Timmer, and
Alejandro Colman-Lerner.
My current group is partly shared with that of Peter Strålfors, and it is described on this
home page. Apart from building my own group, I have also started up and am currently coordinating
the newly launched Linköping Centre for Systems Biology (LCSB),
and I am also working towards establishing a major international network effort aspiring to
construct multi-levels and co-constructed models for glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes.
