Welcome to our team Anna!

Anna Olkkonen, a BSc from the School of biomedicine (University of Eastern Finland) started recently her MSc thesis in our research group. Her thesis focuses in the computational study of TRPA1 attenuators. During the summer, she will build model of TRPA1 ion channel, study the different binding sites and predict the different binding modes for […]

Our Science

Our research aims to synthesise and test novel bioactive heterocycles and medicinal boron compounds and to develop novel antibiotic strategies as well as more efficient, eco-friendly methodologies.

Our Group

Our research group is comprised of dynamic and innovative scientists with a large collaboration network. We consistently offer opportunities for undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students to join our research team and scientific endeavour.

Our Story

As every successful venture, we have also started from scratch. Our grassroot efforts have grown into a flourishing field of talented researchers. And we have no intentions of slowing down.

Our Collaboration

In collaboration we believe! Science is more productive when done in combined effort. Currently, we have several ongoing collaborations with numerous research group in Finland.

Our Funding

Little science can be done without funding. Thus, we are immensely thankful for each and every of the Institutions and Societies who continue to make our research possible.
