Parikka lab myös tiiviisti mukana Tampereen yliopiston uudessa tutkimuskeskuksessa!

By listening the talks in #EMBLInfectionBiology conference it has become clear that the 2020's will be the decade of infection biology research. So many highly interesting talks from young researchers!

First aid skills are always important, and they are especially important if you are working with infectious organisms in a lab where the entrance requires heavy personal protection. That’s why #FirstAidCourse is part of the education for #BSL3 level lab work. #TB

“We now have more and much better treatment options for people with drug-resistant TB thanks to research generating new evidence. This is major progress compared to what was available even a few years ago...”, said Dr Tereza Kasaeva,

Thank you Academy of Finland Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland for supporting our tuberculosis research! Our journey towards better treatments continues in deep collaboration with Jari Yli-Kauhaluoma and Seppo Parkkila.

Thanks to 4-year founding from Academy of Finland Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland, our @TampereUni - University of Helsinki wide consortium with Seppo Parkkila and Jari Yli-Kauhaluoma is able to focus on developing novel treatment methods against #tubeculosis. tuni.fi/fi/ajankohtais…

Doing PhD can be challenging, but it can also be (and most often is) enjoyable journey!

Highly interesting biofilm meeting starting next week!

Impressive amount of data from clinical trials of infective endocarditis presented by Dr Jose M. Miro. Eurobiofilms2022. Amount of biofilm-driven disease is increasing.

Excellent lecture from Kendra Rumbaugh about what we (don’t) know about biofilms, giving chronic wound infections as an example Eurobiofilms2022

Happy Postdoc Appreciation Week to all postdocs, (grad)students and PIs!

Our PhD student Alina and postdoc Leena-Maija presenting their research posters in the MET Research day #tuniMETrd. Excellent research and friendly atmosphere during the whole event @TampereUniMET

Visiting @SaraHildenArt museum to see the first (and maybe the last!) ever coexhibition of Thomas Houseago, Brad Pitt Official Brad Pitt🌏 and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Really impressive works of art!

Such a beautiful picture taken from mycobacterial #biofilm by Sanni Erämies from @TampereUniMET imaging core. Now it’s time to find out if #extracellularDNA affects biofilm morphology in #mycobacteria 🤨

Soon to begin: Hanna Luukinen is going to defend her thesis related to #Mycobacterial evasion mechanisms. Good luck to Hanna!
