InNetics AB is a recently founded company continuing the development of advanced modeling and analysis software tools for the pharma industry initiated by MathCore. In the fall of 2002 MathCore reorganized its operations and all biotech-oriented business and applications are now managed by InNetics.
InNetics is now bringing their state-of-the-art solutions in modeling
and simulation into the pharma industry in close cooperation with industrial
partners.
The result - PathwayLab - is an application for in silico modeling and
simulation of biological processes. The aim is to help researchers to increase
their understanding of disease relevant biological mechanisms with implications
for e.g. target validation and prioritization.
InNetics is located in Mjärdevi Science Park in Linköping, Sweden.
The Founders
Dr. Mats Jirstrand received a M.Sc. degree in applied physics and electrical engineering from Linköping University 1994 and a Ph.D. degree in automatic control 1998 also from Linköping University. He is the author of several papers and articles in modeling, simulation, and control system design and has been a guest researcher at Information Systems Laboratory at Stanford University. He is a member of the Modelica Design Group and has a position in the board of Linköping Institute of Technology. Mats was co-founder and acted in various positions (CEO, VP Business Development, VP Applications) in the venture capital funded start-up company MathCore, which developed software tools for complex physical systems modeling.
Dr. Johan Gunnarsson received a Ph.D. degree in automatic control 1997 at Linköping University, where he made research on formal methods to verify control system algorithms, resulting in a thesis called "Symbolic methods and tools for Discrete Event Systems", which describes methods to test the correctness of Control Systems. Johan has also been a research associate both at the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science departments at Linköping University. Johan has been a guest researcher at Kestrel Institute, Palo Alto, USA where he conducted research on the Modelica language and he is a member of the Modelica Design Group. Johan was co-founder and VP Development at MathCore, leading the development of the modeling, simulation, and documentation software MathModelica.
M.Sc. Henrik Johansson received a M.Sc. degree in computer science from Linköping University 2001. Henrik has a background from MathCore as program developer and systems architect of MathModelica and PathwayLab with exceptional knowledge in GUI design and programming, object oriented programming, and complex software system design.
Dr. Johan Hellgren, partner of InNetics. He received a Ph.D. degree in technical audiology from Linköping University 2000 and a M.Sc. degree in Systems Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, 1991. The research area for the Ph.D. thesis was signal processing in digital hearing aids with focus on cancellation of acoustic feedback. Johan has designed the signal processing used in several commercial hearing aids.
