Laura Jussinniemi

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher (PhD, Medicine; M.H.Sc.) in the EU-funded IMPROVE PRETERM consortium at the University of Oulu, Clinical Medicine Research Unit, Lifecourse medicine and birth cohort research group.

My current research focuses on the long-term effects of antenatal corticosteroid exposure using Nordic register-based data. My doctoral research focused on cardiometabolic and pulmonary health among adults born preterm with very low birth weight entering middle age. This work was conducted in close collaboration with the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway.
