Group Leader at the Institute of Biotechnology @HelsinkiUni @BIOTECH_UH. My lab studies how RNAs containing repeats cause neuromuscular disorders.

Thrilled to share that our latest work is now out in PNAS! 🔬https://t.co/SEd3ev6gOE
The study, led by Dr. Joana Teixeira as part of her PhD research, uncovers how toxic repeat‑containing RNAs disrupt mitochondria.
Huge congratulations! @helsinkiuni @GarciaLab2 @BIOTECH_UH

Say good morning to our new medicine laureate 🎉

Gary Ruvkun was woken up in the early hours to the news he had been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Stay tuned for our interview with him, coming soon.

This year's retreat was a cruise from Helsinki to Tallinn with over 140 staff, students and visitors on board. We enjoyed excellent talks, were stimulated by a panel discussion, and had a mindfulness workshop followed by nice strolls in the Old Town #BIretreat23 @HiLIFE_helsinki

Great time during our Genomics and Evolutionary Biology Research Program outing @BIOTECH_UH!

@EJokitalo So true!

[Brendan Battersby @Solocanuck]

Human mitochondrial DNA is one of the most simplified cellular genomes that facilitates compartmentalized gene expression.  We wondered what was the (in)fidelity of the process. 1/

Seeing the distal arm swell with injected DNA is so satisfying! 7 sec white-out is switching worms. Last injection shows our trick for clearing a clogged needle. #crispr #celegans

When they re-discover in mammals something that was already known in C. elegans and it gets published in Science

Small party with a nice Finnish game of Mölkky and dinner to say goodbye to our Erasmus student Alba Montedeoca @ZankokunaHikari. Alba, we wish you all the best, and keep having fun with research!! 🐛🪱💐⛱️

[Sistonenlab @sistonheat]

Our latest work is now available in Nucleic Acids Research! The culmination of Dr Samu Himanen's PhD work. Open to read for everyone! https://t.co/U2zkusksgm

Getting the support you need quickly when you have a suspected neurological condition is vital, but too many people face unacceptable waits to get a diagnosis. This must change.
