Johannes G. Borgqvist, PhD

I am a postdoctoral researcher in mathematical biology at the Department of Mathematical Sciences (Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg), working at the interface of mathematics, biology, and medicine.

My research focuses on mechanistic modelling of biological systems, using differential equations to understand how underlying biological mechanisms give rise to observed behaviour. I am particularly interested in bridging theoretical and applied approaches, combining mathematical analysis with interdisciplinary collaborations in biology and medicine.

During my postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford, supported by a Wenner-Gren Fellowship, I worked on introducing symmetry-based methods into mathematical biology. More recently, my work has focused on modelling neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, as well as developing data-driven mechanistic approaches for life science applications.

Alongside my research, I am actively engaged in teaching and interdisciplinary collaboration, and I am interested in developing mathematical methods that can contribute to real-world biomedical challenges.
