Research Groups of FIMM

Human Genomics

• Prof. Leena Peltonen-Palotie's reseach team at FIMM aim to characterize genetic risk factors in cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric diseases.

• FiDiPro Professor Joseph D. Terwilliger, Columbia University (USA). Research at FIMM involves development of statistical genetics methods to study multifactorial disease traits.

• Prof. Aarno Palotie's research team at FIMM Technology Centre is focusing on genetics of complex traits.

• Dr Saarela’s research group is focusing on genetics of complex neuropsychiatric diseases using cutting edge genetic technologies.

• Academy Research Fellow Elisabeth Widen's research team at FIMM Technology Centre is interested in studying the molecular mechanisms regulating pubertal timing and growth.

Medical System Biology

• Prof. Olli Kallioniemi's research team at FIMM is focussed on the molecular mechanisms of breast and prostate cancer.

• Dr. Kuznetsov’s research group at FIMM will focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer progression.

• Dr. Verschuren’s research group at FIMM will dissect cellular and biochemical properties of candidate tumor suppressors and oncogenes, aiming to build the molecular constituents of novel cancer networks.

• Dr. Wennerberg's research group at FIMM uses chemical biology and drug discovery approaches to gain new understanding of mitotic, signaling and metabolic events in cancers.

• Dr. Kainov's research group will  focus on  influenza  A  viruses,  which cause recurrent  outbreaks with  severe consequences for human health and global economy,  merging traditional  biochemical and biophysical approaches with high-throughput siRNA and compound screening techniques.
