  • May 2014 - May 2017

  The goal of the research group is to understand the molecular mechanisms of ageing and thus improve the health of our ageing populations. The group is the leading member of the Academy of Finland’s Centre of Excellence in stem cell metabolism (term 2018-2025). My work focused on the ageing of the intestinal stem cell niche, its signalling and role in tissue regeneration. I worked with cutting edge laboratory techniques such as 3D organoid models, transgenic animal models, Confocal microscopy, FACS, CRISPR-Cas9, qPCR etc. The work was highly independent as I planned, executed and analysed experiments and I learned a lot about the world of high impact science, practical research work and scientific communication. Parts of my work were published 2019 in Nature, one of the world's most prestigious academic journals: "Notum produced by Paneth cells attenuates regeneration of aged intestinal epithelium" DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1383-0 Show less
