Susanna Kaisto

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher and Research Project Manager with expertise in developmental biology and the coordination of large multidisciplinary research projects. Throughout my career, I have combined scientific research with project management, fostering collaboration between academic, clinical, and industry partners in national and international research initiatives.

I currently coordinate several large collaborative projects, including GeneCellNano, the Finnish Flagship for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), NutriEV, an EIC Pathfinder project exploring nutrition and health, WaVEs, an Interreg Aurora project promoting cross-border collaboration and innovation, and VALABio, a Business Finland Veturi ecosystem project focused on strengthening Finland's biomanufacturing and health innovation capabilities.

My academic background is in developmental biology and regenerative medicine. In addition to scientific research, my professional interests include interdisciplinary research environments, research management, science communication, stakeholder engagement, and the mechanisms that support successful collaboration, innovation, and societal impact.
