With its extensive expertise in sustainable pharmacy, the University of Helsinki strives to supplement its collaboration with operators in the field.
Through profile-building projects, the Faculty of Pharmacy boosts its research profile in the University’s strategically chosen research areas. For the Faculty, the key strategic research areas of profile-building projects are the following:
The Flagships coordinated by the University of Helsinki combine top-level research and a diverse range of collaboration with businesses and the wider society. The Faculty of Pharmacy participates in the iCAN and GeneCellNano Flagships funded by the Academy of Finland.
