For patients with generalized myasthenia gravis, existing treatments reduce mortality and alleviate symptoms, but side effects and poor efficacy leave many patients seeking alternatives. The latest video in our partnership with @DGlaucomflecken summarizes the MINT trial. 👉

Today we got our new imaging system for automated spatial proteomics installed! Maria Semenova is already eager to image thymuses. Thank you @zeiss_micro, we are excited to be the first users in Finland for the new system integrating imaging and fluidics. Funded by @ERC_Research

WE ARE HIRING 💥 Do you want to become our new project coordinator? More details on the University of Helsinki webpage. Application period until September 10th - be quick!

I AM HIRING 💥 Do you want to become my new project coordinator? My growing team needs a coordinator who has a real "we can do this" 💪 - attitude. More details on the University of Helsinki webpage. Application period until September 10th - be quick!

Happy to have been collaborating on this superb project! Spearheaded by @jsarkkine, Dawit Yohannes (not on X) and @SiniLaakso. Viruses handled by @MaFePerdomoC

Thanks to @KirstenNowlan and our wonderful collaborators @MaFePerdomoC et al. we could study the DNA virome of the human thymus.

I had the great honor to publicly examine the PhD thesis of @SchAnnMari @UniEastFinland. We had a nice discussion on T cells!

Pleased to announce the winners of the FSI PhD thesis award 2021-2023: @ollidufva and @IivoHetemaki @helsinkiuni. FSI congratulates the winners and their supervisors Satu Mustjoki @hruh_research & @MikkoKeranen and Eliisa Kekäläinen @lettipitko & Petteri Arstila! @SSI_immunology

We are hiring new members to the team and also MOVING! A new year, new lab, new team members, new projects. Year 2025 will be exciting!

If you need a postdoc or a funded PhD post in life sciences (I’m recruiting!) - consider @helsinkiuni and my dear homeland Finland! Not to be overly patriotic but it is a fairly good country in many ways. We Finns typically don’t boast. But Tomi made a nice thread about Finland!

If some researchers just by coincidence are today in the USA or anywhere are considering a change in scenery I am still looking for a postdoc! You can test how it is living and working in Finland, the happiest country in the world! More info:

Cleaned the whole day -20 freezer *room* filled with samples and reagents from people that have left the institute even decades ago. Finally, when it was almost empty, I checked beneath the lowest selves and found a trash bag with used XL size mens jeans inside. I can only wonder

Halloweenin somekeskustelujen uhkaavin hahmo - olkiukko. Puotilan kartanon Halloweeks 😍.

Again stellar work by the @BonfantiLab 🤩

Are you the next team member to join us? More than your credentials, we are looking the right person! Both post-docs or PhD students are welcome. Come solve some fundamental issues of the human thymus biology with us! #recruiting #academicjobs #hiring #postdoc #phdcandidate

Finland has always been the most under-rated Nordic country. It has good kebab, people who don't talk to you by default, isn't too hot and the Internet is great. What more do you want?

@ESIDsociety @BrodinPetter So happy my flight got cancelled and I got to see this talk by @BrodinPetter ! Fascinating insights into gender imbalances in autoimmunity. Other session speakers, @BogunovicLab and @Muzz_Haniffa made this a highlight of #ESID2024 !

No seats are empty in the plenary hall at #ESID2024 as Bergithe Oftedal presents AIRE’s crucial role in immune tolerance. Essential insights into the mechanisms of self-recognition in the immune system. #ESID #Immunology
