Plätty is organizing a Life Tech laboratories tour this Thursday!
Join one or more of the open tours to learn about the research in the field of Life Science Technologies and to see the multi-million research equipment and the facilities housing them in Otaniemi.
Join a tour to find your potential future thesis position, or to learn about a new field you’d otherwise never cross paths with.

Please note that there is a limited number of spots on each tour, and that some of the time slots might be cancelled due to lack of participants. In this case the participants will be informed via e-mail.

List of Groups and links to the sign-ups.

Brain Imaging / MEG-MRI

We develop techniques and instrumentation for ultra-low-field MRI and its combination with MEG. The group has built the world’s first prototype of a whole-head hybrid MEG-MRI brain scanner.

Medical Ultrasonics (MEDUSA)

Sound provides unconventional means to manipulate human tissue on microscopic and macroscopic levels. When intended, ultrasonic exposures generating sonic force fields can be applied from a distance, e.g. through the skin, in a non-destructive manner. The goal of MEDUSA is to discover and develop new platform technologies exploiting non-linear ultrasonics for conducting therapeutic or diagnostic tasks. A strong incentive exists to translate these research technologies to the clinic. Our recent research interests include e.g. ultrasonic drug delivery for osteoarthritis therapy and ultrasound-enhanced cancer diagnostics.
