Henrik Jönsson

Henrik Jönsson is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on Plant Development and Stem cells, with an emphasis on Computational Morphodynamics. He develops models at the cellular level to describe multicellular tissues such as the shoot apical meristem. His work integrates Systems biology to study developmental processes. Jönsson is also the Director of the Sainsbury Laboratory. His research areas include Computational morphodynamics and Systems biology, with a focus on understanding the dynamics of plant development.

Henrik Jönsson is a Professor at the Sainsbury Laboratory, University of Cambridge, and Lund University, specializing in Computational Morphodynamics. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying plant morphogenesis, particularly through the integration of mechanical signals and molecular processes. He investigates how developmental patterning occurs in plants, such as in Arabidopsis, by examining the roles of auxin transport, cell polarity, and mechanical stress. His work also explores the interplay between genetic regulation and physical forces in shaping plant structures, including stem cell maintenance and phyllotaxis. By combining computational models with experimental data, Jönsson provides insights into the self-organization of cellular and tissue-level processes in plants.
