Academy research fellow, PhD
I did my PhD in the laboratory of Oscar Puig (Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki) where I studied the function of Foxo transcription factor in tissue growth and metabolism. For postdoctoral training, I then joined the group of Ville Hietakangas (Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki) where I studied nutrient mediated transcriptional regulation. I then moved to the group of Michael Boutros (DKFZ, Heidelberg, Germany) where I concentrated on understanding the process of nutrient regulated intestinal adaptation, with a special emphasis on intestinal stem cell physiology.
I did my bachelor's and master's thesis in Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. During my studies I worked on the metabolic features in short-lived fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. In the Mattila lab my PhD work is aiming to elucidate the nutritinal and metabolic regulation of the intestinal stem cells.
