I'm a specialist in rheumatology and internal medicine and physician scientist. I am currently president of the Finnish Society for Rheumatology (2023–2024). I am actively developing Finnish Rheumatology Quality register and have been a member of the register working group since 2021. I am currently mentoring two PhD students.

I am clinical lecturer in internal medicine. In addition to teaching clinical internal medicine, I am responsible for rheumatology basic education. 



Research

My research interests focus broadly on inflammatory rheumatic diseases and their genetic, clinical, epidemiological, and health-economical aspects, including clinical application of machine learning models in rheumatology.
