The Integrative physiology and pharmacology research unit covers widely the field of biomedicine. The research themes cover areas such as endocrinology, metabolism, bioimaging and diagnostics, drug development and medical treatment. The methodology used includes different in vitro cell culture models and translational animal models. The most advanced microscopy, x-ray and PET devices and methods are applied on the field of bioimaging.

Research at the Institute of Biomedicine is divided into three functional units: 1) Infection and Immunity, 2) Integrative Physiology and Pharmacology and 3) Cancer research. Research at our Institute includes both biomedical basic research and translational research, and the unit division expresses our research priorities.

The Institute of Biomedicine is in charge of the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Biomedicine (in Finnish) and of two international Master’s Degree Programmes (Drug Discovery and Development, and Biomedical Imaging).
