If not before, then certainly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have realised how human, animal and environmental health are intertwined: Life on Earth forms a network in which everything is connected to everything else. Without science and research, we cannot resolve global pandemics – or find cures for other diseases.

We at the University of Helsinki study our common health, personalised medicine, the health of the brain and the mind, as well as public health. Research and teaching enhance our health.

Get to know our other themes: climate change and biodiversity, a fair society, human-centric technology, the future of education and solving the coronavirus crisis.
