Johnny T. Ottesen

Professor Johnny T. Ottesen is affiliated with Roskilde University's Department of Science and Environment Mathematics and Physics (IMFUFA), where he leads the Centre for Mathematical Modeling - Human Health and Disease. His research focuses on applying mathematical modeling to biomedical systems, particularly in hematology, immunology, and physiological processes. He has published extensively on topics including cancer dynamics, inflammation mechanisms, and clinical decision-support systems.

Education background includes a PhD in mathematical modeling with a focus on biomedical applications. His work integrates mathematical analysis with clinical data to address challenges in personalized medicine, disease progression modeling, and systems biology. Notable contributions include models for hematopoietic stem cell dynamics, endotoxin-induced inflammation responses, and intracranial pressure regulation.

His research outputs (132+ articles) emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, with recent work analyzing myeloproliferative neoplasms, kidney function biomarkers, and immunotherapy optimization. He actively collaborates internationally, organizing conferences like the 12th European Conference on Mathematical and Theoretical Biology and leading the Nordic Biomathematics community.

Media engagements highlight his innovative 'mathematical microscope' methodology, which provides novel diagnostic tools for conditions like depression. Despite no listed awards, his work has received attention for bridging clinical and computational sciences through dynamic models predicting treatment outcomes and disease behavior.

He has supervised numerous interdisciplinary projects and participates in initiatives like Greater Copenhagen Health Science Partners. His activities span peer review, academic leadership, and public engagement, emphasizing the translation of mathematical insights into clinical practice.
