Multi-disciplinarity and long-term research are the trump cards of the two research colleges of the University of Turku. Collegium Researchers Mona Mannevuo and Han Li are both inspired by their research topics and emphasise the importance of the three-year period for their careers.
A new study of the PhyloBone project of the University of Turku, Finland, identifies hundreds of non-collagenous proteins in the bone matrix that may play regulatory roles in bone formation and regeneration. The study opens the door to new treatments and preventive measures for bone regeneration and osteoporosis research.
Welcome to the seminar "Sustainability and Academic Research – UTU Researchers Contributing to Sustainability" on 4th June. Faced with a multitude of challenges ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic and global environmental crisis to a variety of risks pointed out by for example the third citizens’ panel on sustainable development in Finland, the presenters and audience are invited to share their thoughts and insights on sustainability and academic research. Registration is open until 2nd June.
The Turku Collegium for Science, Medicine and Technology (TCSMT) international selection process for postdoctoral researcher positions ended at the end of April. TCSMT received 84 applications from 26 countries. Of the applicants, 77% reported a nationality other than Finnish.
DNP, a weight loss agent withdrawn from the market in the late 1930s due to acute toxicity, has become increasingly popular in recent years through online illegal sales. A new study using a lifelong DNP treatment in an avian model found that while no obvious toxic effects were detected on the short to medium-term, DNP reduces lifespan by 20% on the long run.
The environment we experience in early-life is known to have major consequences on later-life health and lifespan. A new study led from the University of Turku using an avian model suggests that increased prenatal exposure to maternal thyroid hormones could have beneficial effects on the ‘biological age’ at birth.
The Turku Collegium for Science and Medicine invites applications for a maximum of five fixed term postdoctoral researcher positions. The post doc positions offer a base for multidisciplinary research in an international and interdisciplinary environment, where the researchers form a tight community and receive peer-support from their colleagues.
The Turku Collegium for Science and Medicine (TCSM) international call for applications for junior group leader positions ended at the beginning of January this year. Through a three-stage selection process, the TCSM board selected five new collegium researchers for a three year period of employment from a total number of 81 applicants.
The Turku Collegium for Science and Medicine (TCSM) international selection process for postdoctoral researcher positions ended at the end of April. Based on applications received, the TCSM board selected five postdoctoral researchers for a three-year term of employment. TCSM received 111 application from 32 countries. Of the applicants, 74% reported a nationality other than Finnish.
NB! Please note that due to the current COVID-19 situation, this lecture series has been postponed until Autumn 2020. See the updated lecture schedule below.
All interested parties are warmly welcomed to a lecture series organised by Turku Collegium for Science and Medicine (TCSM) and Turku Institute of Advanced Studies (TIAS)! In the series, collegium researchers give lectures on on-going research at the University of Turku. The lectures are given at Turku City Library from March 3 to May 11.
