Jeremy Gunawardena, a mathematician and systems biologist, is Associate Professor of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School. He specializes in cellular signalling and decision making.
Biography
[edit]Gunawardena obtained a PhD in algebraic topology from the University of Cambridge under Frank Adams,[1] after which he spent two years as LE Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago[2] before returning to Cambridge. He set up the first computer science courses at Chicago. After leading Hewlett-Packard's research team in Europe, he joined the faculty of systems biology at the Harvard Medical School. He is a speaker of the IBS Biomedical Mathematics Group.[3]
Work
[edit]Gunawardena focuses on mathematical techniques in systems biology, including models for post-translational modification[4] (multisite phosphorylation, transcription factor binding [5]) and other modeling of systems.
One of his most cited papers, "Multisite protein phosphorylation makes a good threshold but can be a poor switch" in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, [6] has received 280 citations according to Google Scholar.[7]
