Sabine Fischer

Sabine Fischer is a Professor for Supramolecular and Cellular Simulations at the University of Würzburg’s Center for Computational and Theoretical Biology (CCTB). She holds a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Nottingham (2009) and completed postdoctoral research at the University of Cambridge (2009-2011) and the University of Frankfurt (2011-2017). Her work focuses on mathematical modeling and data-driven simulations of biological processes across subcellular, multicellular, and multi-tissue scales. Key research areas include agent-based modeling of parasite collective behavior (e.g., Project 7 of SPP 2332 PoP), cell-cell interactions, and morphological modeling with Blender. Her group develops tools for image analysis and applies methods ranging from classical statistics to machine learning.

• Education:
• Diploma in Mathematics, University of Würzburg
• PhD in Mathematical Biology, University of Nottingham (2009)
• Professional Experience:
• Postdoc, University of Cambridge (2009-2011)
• Postdoc, University of Frankfurt (2011-2017)
• Development Engineer, h.a.l.m. Elektronik GmbH (2017-2018)
• Professor, University of Würzburg (since 2018)

Her research integrates experimental data with computational models to study processes like mouse blastocyst differentiation, tissue-level organization, and parasitic locomotion. Current projects emphasize agent-based modeling of Trypanosoma collective behavior and the development of open-source tools like VESNA for 3D vessel analysis.
