Biography
Jens Timmer has studied Physics at the Universities of Oldenburg and Freiburg. He received his Ph.D. in 1994 from the University of Freiburg. Since this time, he is leading the research group "Data Analysis and Modeling of Dynamic Processes in the Life Sciences". He has a Ph.D. degree in physics, physics, chemistry, physics, physics, chemistry, physics, physics, physics, physics, physics, Since 2005, he is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Freiburg. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Center for Data Analysis and Modeling as well as the Institute of Biology. He is vice-speaker of the Freiburg Initiative for Systems Biology.
Research Interest
Jens Timmer's research focuses on the development and interdisciplinary application of mathematical methods to analyze and model dynamical processes in biology and medicine. Dynamic processes are ubiquitous in the life sciences. They can be found in the following sections: Malfunction of these dynamic processes can be a cause or a sign of diseases. In interdisciplinary projects, his group develops and studies mathematical methods to analyze and model these processes based on measured data. The final aim is to help to turn the life sciences from a qualitative descriptive into a quantitative predictive science.
