Dr. Westermark's research focuses on circadian rhythms in animals, their regulation of gene expression, and metabolic pathway dynamics. His work integrates time series analysis and control theory to study tissue homeostasis and aging mechanisms.

His recent publications analyze circadian regulation in muscle physiology, computational models of biological clocks, and statistical methodologies for rhythmicity detection. These works span disciplines including bioinformatics, metabolic research, and molecular chronobiology.

Dr. Westermark's laboratory develops mathematical frameworks to understand biological timekeeping, with applications in farm animal biology and human health.
