Christina Kuttler

Christina Kuttler is a Prof. Dr. rer. nat. at the Technical University of Munich, Department of Mathematics. Her research focuses on mathematical modelling of biological and physical processes using ordinary and partial differential equations, reaction-diffusion equations, parameter estimation, and systems biology. She has contributed extensively to the understanding of quorum sensing in bacteria and its regulation mechanisms through mathematical models.

Christina Kuttler's research focuses on mathematical modeling and computational methods in biological systems. Her work explores quorum sensing, biofilm dynamics, and cell-cell communication mechanisms in microbial communities. She develops mathematical models to understand how bacteria regulate gene expression through signaling molecules like N-acyl-homoserine lactones. Additionally, she investigates proteasomal cleavage prediction and MHC class I antigen processing, contributing to computational biology tools. Her research also includes dynamical models for granular matter and the role of pyocyanin in bacterial social interactions. These studies highlight her interdisciplinary approach to understanding complex biological processes through quantitative modeling.
