Great financial start for the year!

Our research group has done a marvellous job with funding this year already! 😍 Firstly, Janne has received a postdoctoral funding from Päivikki and Sakari Sohlberg's Foundation (link); secondly, Adela, a Ph.D. grant from Instrumentarium Research Foundation (link); thirdly, Hamed, a Ph.D. grant from Cultural Foundation (link) and lastly, Andy, the UEF travel grant. And in addition to these, Kati, a Ph.D. student whom I co-supervise with Prof. Jarkko Rautio, also received the Cultural Foundation Ph.D. grant. So congratulations to all, and keep up doing such great work in the future!  

Unfortunately most of the UEF press releases are in Finnish.

Welcome Tonnaow!

A new or perhaps "old" team member has arrived (or returned?). Thanavit, better known as Tonnaow from Thailand, has finally arrived and is ready to start his Ph.D. studies, so warmly welcome Tonnaow! The place and people are mainly familiar to him, as he visited us as an exchange student in 2023. Something must have been in our drinking-water, or perhaps he forgot something as he wanted to come back! 😍  Anyway, we are super-happy to see you here again, and we are looking forward to all that we can achieve with the mitochondrial project that he is going to work on.

Cover Page by Ville

Finally, the cover page for Molecular Pharmaceutics is out. It took longer than I thought, since we knew it will take place already in September-October. Anyhow, congratulations Ville, for the great design, let the image speak out of itself! 😍
