Congratulations to Lauri Sipilä et al. Aaltonen Lab for their recently published work on mutational signatures in sinonasal adenocarcinoma genesenvironment.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

The annual meeting of the CoE Tumor Genetics was organised in scenic Hämeenlinna. Two days were filled with inspiring presentations, including by our PI Kirsi Rautajoki and workshops. It is always a pleasure to meet our colleagues from Taipale Lab, Nykter Lab Aaltonen Lab and Syöpärekisteri!

Much of our research is performed by students preparing for their PhD. Application for the three year doctoral pilot positions starting in August is open now helsinki.fi/en/research/do…

Our article on germline variants associated with uterine leiomyomas is now published! Our results show that inherited mutations in SRCAP complex genes, affecting H2A.Z histone variant deposition, predispose to uterine leiomyomas with moderate penetrance. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…

Näillä eväillä Maailman Syöpäpäivään! Pari nostoa:
⁃ Ihan tavallisilla hyvillä elintavoilla voi pienentää omaa syöpäriskiä
⁃ Syövästä selviytymisessä on alueellisia eroja. Taustalla lienee erot perusterveydenhuollon saatavuudessa
⁃ Tarvitsemme kansallisen syöpästrategian
