David Jörg @davidjorg.com · 11/05/2026How does human body surface area scale with size? Using 3D laser scanning and DXA in 106 adults, we found BSA scales linearly with height and mass. No power laws needed, and lean/fat/bone breakdowns don’t really improve predictions. journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.... 010
David Jörg @davidjorg.com · 16/04/2026In February, I had the great pleasure of giving a talk at the Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine about our work on modeling human physiology to improve patient treatment. A fabulous visit and many great questions from the audience. gimm.pt/news/modelin... 000
David Jörg @davidjorg.com · 11/01/2025Interspecies scaling laws (allometries) are a fascinating phenomenon. Here we investigate allometric scaling relationships of quantitative cardiomyocyte properties across different mammalian species. doi.org/10.1242/jeb.... (w/ Tanja Kloock and Christian Mühlfeld) 062
David Jörg @davidjorg.com · 16/11/2024In this collaboration with Ben Simons' and Shosei Yoshida's lab, we propose a minimal mechanism for the intricate spatiotemporal dynamics of the spermatogenic wave. Congratulations to Toshiyuki Sato (experiment) and Yuting I. Li (theory) for their outstanding work! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 063
