Biography

Nicolas Sundqvist is a Postdoctoral researcher at Linköping University, specializing in the field of mathematical modeling to quantify intracellular metabolic fluxes. His research focuses on investigating complex biological systems and cellular metabolism, with a long-standing background in cellular physiology, biochemistry, and biotechnology. He is deeply engaged in understanding the metabolic phenotype of human cells, characterized by vital parameters essential for grasping the intricacies of metabolism. Sundqvist employs metabolic flux analysis (MFA), a mathematical modeling approach that quantitatively determines metabolic fluxes from isotopically labeled metabolite data. This methodology, while traditionally employed in simpler organisms like E. coli, is being advanced to accurately map and understand the complexities of human metabolism. His goal is to expand the existing modeling framework to create a robust and realistic methodology for analyzing metabolic fluxes in human systems. By integrating knowledge from metabolic models with mechanistic insights into cerebral activity and blood flow, Sundqvist aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of human cerebral metabolism.
