Currently, I work as a medical doctor (psychiatry resident) at Oulu University Hospital and as Adj. Professor / Senior researcher in the University of Eastern Finland, Department of Neurology, FinFTD network. My research interests focus especially on new blood based biomarkers in frontotemporal dementia and other neurodegenerative / psychiatric disorders. I also supervise several PhD thesis projects focusing on different aspects of frontotemporal dementia.
