Frontiers in Health Sciences is a seminar series organized by the doctoral programmes of Faculty of Health Sciences and it is targeted to researchers, teachers and students. 

The seminar series continues with a lecture by Professor Hanna K.A. Mikkola, MD, PhD with the topic: 
Dissecting human hematopoietic stem cell development, self-renewal and transformation.

Hanna K.A. Mikkola, M.D., Ph.D., studies how blood stem cells are generated during embryonic development and how their ability to self-renew and give rise to differentiated blood cell types is orchestrated by cues from their microenvironment. The ultimate goal of her research is to develop methods to produce functional blood stem cells in the lab, which would enable more effective treatments for leukemia and other blood cell disorders.

The event will be held in English and is open to everyone interested. 

Welcome!
