Ola Spjuth

Ola Spjuth is a professor at Uppsala University focusing on mathematical and statistical modeling, informatics, and quantitative analysis of pharmacological systems. He has developed methods, algorithms, and software to study and model pharmaceutical interactions.

A major focus of his group is how artificial intelligence and machine learning can aid the drug discovery process: for example, in drug screening and the study of drug toxicity, metabolism, and resistance.

His group combines in silico and in vitro experiments at the cellular level and has access to a robotic high-content imaging laboratory connected to a modern IT infrastructure to manage and analyze large amounts of data.
