Congratulations to colleague Marcus Baaz on his Doctor of Philosophy degree!
On Wednesday, 20 March 2024, our colleague Marcus Baaz presented and defended his thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy “Pharmacometrics for Combination Therapy in Oncology Within and Across Species Variability in Time Series and Time-to-event Data”. Abstract Mathematical modeling is…
Disputation – Marcus Baaz 20/3 2024 – “Pharmacometrics for Combination Therapy in Oncology”
Abstract Mathematical modeling is an integral part of the drug development process. Models are developed to describe tumor dynamics or drug concentration to answer questions such as: What concentration is required to reach the desirable treatment outcome? What drug dose and frequency…

Congratulations to Colleague Viktor Skantze on his Doctor of Philosophy degree!
On Tuesday, 23 January 2024, our colleague Viktor Skantze presented and defended his thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy “Mathematical modelling in personalized nutrition” Abstract Precision nutrition (PN) is an emerging field that aims to provide the right diet to…
Disputation – Morgan Görtz 26/1 2024 – “Numerical homogenization of network models and micro-mechanical simulation of paperboard”
Micro-mechanical simulations of paper products involve complex geometries and challenging numerical problems. This work considers micro-mechanical simulations where individual paper fibers are modeled and resolved. This level of detail is useful in paper-product development, where wood composition and other fiber-based parameters are…
Methods for reducing the spread of bacteria causing difficult-to-treat infections
Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human health and the scientific community plays an important role in understanding the drivers behind the increasing resistance among bacteria. The activities at Fraunhofer-Chalmers Centre in this field are led by Dr Anna Johnning who…
The importance of precision nutrition
In a recent study Viktor Skantze and co-authors utilized experimental data combined with mathematical modelling to show that individuals with an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes respond differently to the same meal. The analysis led to a division of individuals into…
Disputation – Viktor Skantze 23/1 2024 – “Mathematical modelling in personalized nutrition”
Abstract Precision nutrition (PN) is an emerging field that aims to provide the right diet to the right individual at the right time, which has the potential to improve diet-related prevention of several cardiometabolic diseases. PN can be provided on a personal…
