Value statement:Welcome to my world, I´m Jesper and designed as such because I believe in exploring the boundaries of what we are. I´m interested in developing and applying operational strategies which have relevance to the fundamental principles of living matter, not yet captured by theoretical physics.

Educational and Professional Training: To explore the boundaries referred to above, I designed a non-standard path from the very beginning. To become truly multi-lingual, I went for three different academic degrees with Mathematics, Medicine (Med School) and Philosophy as majors, respectively. In parallel with my Experimental and Computational PhD in Medicine at the Karolinska Institute, three international Computational Summer Schools in Woods Hole (MBL) , Mathematical Science Research Institute, the McGill Center for Non-linear Dynamics, I finished a two year full-time PhD course program in Pure and Computational Mathematics. On leave from a faculty position in Computer Science, I spent a three year period as an Alfred P Sloan and Wenner-Gren Fellow in Boston, USA. After returning from US 2001, stopping by as faculty at the Stockholm Bioinformatics Center, I became the first Swedish Professor (chaired) in Computational Biology in 2002.
