17th Science Day of the Campus of Kontinkangas
Dear Colleagues
It is my great pleasure to invite You all to participate in the 17th Science Day of the Campus of Kontinkangas on February 18th, 2020. The Science Day, which is organized jointly with the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, will include plenary lectures of invited speakers, oral abstract presentations, posters, and granting of awards such as the best thesis of the year and the best presentations of the Science Day.
This year, the Science Day focuses on the concept of “Value based biomedical research and healthcare” from the perspective of the individual and the population. We are privileged to have Professors Hans Lund, Mikko Hallman, Tari Haahtela, Robert Winqvist, Markku Laakso and Marjo-Riitta Järvelin as distinguished plenary speakers. Their research is focused on evidence-based medicine, early growth and development, and genetic risk factors and biomarkers for chronic pulmonary diseases, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic diseases.
Especially I want to invite young scientists to introduce their results as oral or poster presentations and I would encourage experienced researches to participate as well. The Science Day will be a comprehensive presentation of the diversity of research ongoing at our Campus. Your active participation will be the basis for a successful meeting, Thank you all !
