Teaching

I have been involved in teaching medical students since I started my carrier at the department of Virology. During my carrier as a teacher, I have realized that  learning is a continuous lifetime process and I have tried to adopte more cognitive and constructive models of learning and teaching. 

I have participated in development of PBL teaching in medical microbiology and setting up a teacher tutor system in medical faculty. I have written a guide for teachers about tutoring of students. I have published one pedagogic peer-reviewed article in Finnish.

   

Research

My scientific interest due to my background of medical education is mainly based on viral pathogenesis and clinical virology. My special interest has been on Picornaviruses, which are important human pathogens. Enteroviruses cause respiratory infections, meningitis, encephalitis and myocarditis and rhinoviruses are the most common cause of common cold. Viral infections in wheezing children have been one major clinical project with international collaboration. On this field we have published several important findings (e.g. efficacy of prednisolon in early wheezing caused by rhinoviruses, the first wheezing episode with rhinovirus predict later ashtma development, hyperactive immune response in asthmatics to repeated rhinovirus infection).
