Susanna Röblitz

Susanna Röblitz is a Professor at the Department of Informatics within the Computational Biology Unit at the University of Bergen. Her research focuses on mathematical modeling of high-dimensional dynamical systems in life sciences, including molecular conformation dynamics, systems biology, and pharmacology. She specializes in rare event sampling, meshfree methods, clustering algorithms, and uncertainty quantification, with a particular emphasis on oscillatory systems such as hormonal rhythms.

Her teaching includes courses such as BINF100 Introduction to Bioinformatics and BINF305 Systems Biology. Her research has been supported by grants from the Research Council of Norway and Nordforsk, including projects like Markov State Models for Cellular Phenotype Switching and RAS-TOOLS.

Key research areas include hormonal regulation (e.g., menstrual cycle modeling), gene regulatory networks, and applications in pharmacokinetics and aquaculture. Recent work highlights include the development of Markov state models for gene networks and spectral clustering techniques for analyzing complex biological systems.

She has supervised students such as Anna Kristina Fredheim Grandma, whose master’s thesis focused on pharmacokinetic modeling in personalized dosing. Her interdisciplinary collaborations span computational biology, veterinary medicine, and clinical pharmacology.
