Finland is on the cusp of becoming the world’s first country to bury spent nuclear fuel in a geological tomb where it will be stored for 100,000 years. Can it be done? Gareth Law, professor of radiochemistry at @helsinkiuni explains. https://t.co/nS7GwNcnBV

Congratulations to @Radiochem_Unit @KumpulaScience @GFVettese for his best poster award at the 2024 EU Predis project conference. Well done Gianni! Gianni’w research, completed in collaboration with @VTTFinland, examines the behaviour of a novel geopolymer wasteform for LILW.

More Than A World First Image of Radioactive Cs Atoms! @KumpulaScience @KyushuUniv_EN piece about our @HAZMAT_journal Fukushima Daiichi research funded by @SuomenAkatemia & @jsps_stockholm. @SatoshiUtsunom1 @Stanford @IMTAtlantiqueEN @Radiochem_Unit https://t.co/XHJvbrk0Dl

Historic picture: It was incredibly exciting to see the beautiful pattern of Cs atoms in the pollucite structure. It’s sad that this was only possible due to a nuclear accident. New paper by @Radiochem_Unit @helsinkiuni https://t.co/NzFlhqWn5V

@MSarparanta @TRIM_Helsinki @KumpulaScience Welcome Jan!

[Mirkka Sarparanta @MSarparanta]

New @TRIM_Helsinki @Radiochem_Unit @KumpulaScience #HelsinkiChemistry doctoral researcher Jan Brokemper joins the team today! Jan’s research will be focused on new substrates for enzymatic radiofluorination of biomolecules.

[University of Helsinki - Radiochemistry Unit @Radiochem_Unit]

Welcome guys!

[Mirkka Sarparanta @MSarparanta]

New year, new @TRIM_Helsinki @Radiochem_Unit @KumpulaScience lab members! Both Martta Peltoniemi and Diana Barakhtii have started the Ph.D. journeys on new PET tracers for the glymphatic system and targeted carriers for boron neutron capture therapy, respectively.

[University of Helsinki - Radiochemistry Unit @Radiochem_Unit]

Well done to all @KumpulaScience PIs working in civil nuclear — a truly excellent result in this year’s SAFER2028 call. Our existing projects continue, 1 gets promoted to excellence status (way to go Soroush!), and the cherry on top — 2 new projects have been funded. Delighted 🥰

Extremely grateful for the first ever Cancer Foundation Finland @Syopasaatio research grant to my group @Radiochem_Unit #HelsinkiChemistry @KumpulaScience. Exciting collaboration with @LuxenhoferLab ahead!

[University of Helsinki - Radiochemistry Unit @Radiochem_Unit]

Congratulations to Dr Valtteri Suorsa who successfully defended his PhD yesterday against Docent Dr Sari Tuomikoski of @UniOulu. Valtteri, we are all ever so proud and wish you every success as you embark on you career @STUK_FI! @KumpulaScience

[University of Helsinki - Radiochemistry Unit @Radiochem_Unit]

Lovely work from Jenna, Merja, and team on U biogeochemistry. Thanks to all at @HYRLnuclwasted1 @UoH_Rad_Chem, @VTTFinland, @biogeochem_HZDR, and CTU Prague. Open access paper is at https://t.co/L84UuTcPtc

[Mirkka Sarparanta @MSarparanta]

Join us at #HelsinkiChemistry @KumpulaScience @helsinkiuni as a professor of Polymer Chemistry!
