Helsingin yliopiston sijoitus maailman tutkimusyliopistojen joukossa laskee jälleen. Tutkimus on kriisissä jatkuvien leikkausten jälkeen. Tarvitaan konkreettisia toimenpiteitä: satsausta laatuun, keskittämistä, ennustettavuutta ja jatkuvuutta resursointiin. Satsausta nuoriin.

Together with @awesome_viruses this awesome paper is finally published @NAR_Open . Do check what viruses reside within our tissues!

Our new paper is out!

Inpatients have a risk of medical adverse events (MAEs). We show a significant increase in MAE deaths in USA; up to 15.6% per year from 2014 to 2019. The trend was mainly driven by procedure-related events.

Amazing news! @SvantePaabo and Antti Sajantila @HelsinkiUniMed @helsinkiuni in 1990’s proposed that Finnish language and genes have different origins: European vs Saami/Eastern. Later Svante’s genetic archeology studies expanded understanding of origins of the whole humankind.

"Svante Pääbo on tehnyt tiedettä, jota aikaisemmin pidettiin käytännössä mahdottomana eli genomin tutkimusta tuhansia vuosia vanhoista ihmisen tai ihmisen kaltaisten lajien DNA:sta", Antti Sajantila @HelsinkiUniMed

“The last 40 thousand years is quite unique in human history, in that we are the only form of humans around.”

Take a listen to our interview with 2022 medicine laureate Svante Pääbo who reflects on our relationship to extinct species of early hominins.
