Minna Niittykoski

I am senior scientist (Docent/Adjunct Professor) and an initiator of the brain tumor research line which utilizes patient material. The current interest involve malignant brain tumors, particularly glioblastoma. We are determing its characteristics and aiming for the discovery of new cancer biomarkers. In addition, we are using multiple approaches to modeling disease. I have coordinating role in the study which is working in the network manner. More detailed information of biomarkers may benefit patient diagnostics and help to select and design better and more personalized therapies in the future.
