Postdoctoral researcher, M.D., PhD
My principal research interests lie on the field of cancer genetics and biomarkers. By working in biobank-based research environment, my research project is focusing on genotyping of large sets of formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) specimens from cancer patients using customized SNP arrays. Going in parallel with FinnGen project, evaluation of the polygenic risk scores and cancer predisposition is the ultimate aim.

MD, PhD, Senior research Pathologist
My primary research focus is prediction and prognostication of ovarian cancer using a large retrospective cohort of high grade serous carcinoma. We are using machine learning and image analysis of H&E slides to identify novel prognostic indicators, and combining molecular data with image analysis and immunohistochemistry with the aim of identifying novel predictive markers. I am also involved in an immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence project investigating a potential stem cell niche in high grade serous carcinoma.
