About
Peter Lind is an Associate Professor at the Department of Molecular Biology, Umeå University, Sweden. He leads the Lind Lab, focusing on experimental evolution and mathematical modeling of bacterial biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance, particularly in Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter species. His work bridges evolutionary biology with clinical applications to address antimicrobial resistance challenges.

- Location: 6K/6L, Hospital Area, Umeå University
Research Interests:
The group studies evolutionary pathways in bacteria under stressors like antibiotics, aiming to predict and redirect evolution toward dead ends. Key areas include:
- Biofilm dynamics and extracellular matrix formation
- Antibiotic resistance mechanisms and multi-resistance evolution
- Mathematical modeling of molecular networks
- Clinical translation for infection biology and drug development
Publication Trends:
Over the past five years, his work spans hyperbaric oxygen therapy applications (for ARDS, long COVID, and ulcerative colitis), diving medicine (barotrauma, pulmonary edema), and advanced imaging techniques (PET, MRI, Doppler ultrasound). The research emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches combining clinical practice, computational modeling, and experimental evolution.
Labs & Collaborations:
Lind Lab collaborates with clinical teams at Umeå University Hospital, contributes to the UCMR program as education director, and develops open-source tools for diving-related medical diagnostics. Their work informs antibiotic stewardship and evolutionary prediction frameworks.
