Marko Laakso
PhD, Posdoctoral associate
I am interested in the analysis of microarray data (SNP, expression,
ChIP), data annotations and modelling of the gene regulations. Current
work concentrates on various cancer types (colorectal, breast and
prostate cancers) and their means of inheritance. New methods and tools
are needed in order to use computers in comparison of patient and
reference samples and to integrate sample measurements into other
relevant data sources.

Javier Núñez-Fontarnau
PhD (Theoretical Computer Science), Post-doctoral associate
in collaboration with Prof. Lauri Aaltonen (Department of Medical Genetics).
Central in my work is the development of Anduril, a component-based
workflow framework for scientific data analysis specialized in
high-throughput experiments in biomedical research.

Vladimir Rogojin
PhD (Theoretical Computer Science), Post-doctoral associate
I am focusing on simulation, visualization and analysis of cellular signaling networks in order to reveal key features responsible for cancerous cellular behavior and to predict drug targets. I am developing various computational methods and algorithms and implementing necessary tools to solve this problem. I am applying discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science.

Sirkku Karinen
MSc (Bioinformatics), PhD student in FICS
My
current project aims at finding gene variants that are related to
spesific pathways. The search from databases is automated and output is
evaluated by bioinformatics methods to determine which SNPs are
functionally most important to breast cancer survival.

Riku Louhimo
MSc (Bioinformatics), PhD student in HBGP
My current goal is to comprehensively integrate different types of molecular data and existing knowledge in a diverse set of cancers in order to characterize new cancer genes.
Additionally, I am interested in altered cell signaling and survival analysis. |

Kristian Ovaska
MSc (Computer Science), PhD student in HBGP
My
project is bioinformatics pipeline that allows for systematic and rapid
analysis of biological data. My second major project is to model
computationally the EGFR pathway.

Ville Rantanen
MSc (Electrical and Communications Engineering), PhD student
My research interests are in automated image segmentation and analysis.
The oncoming project which I am involved in, will be extracting features from
multidimensional microscope images on cancer cell; and using these features to predict survival.

Rony Lindell
MSc Student (Bioinformation technology), MD student at HU
My current focus is on whole exome data analysis. My goal is to create a pipeline that finds base variants in exome sequences that may explain the cancer phenotype (current focus is on GBM). Reliable cancer-causing variations should be good targets for pharmacological substances. The analysis involves eg. alignment of reads, variant calling and possibly measurement of causality by integrating results from other sources. |
