Organisation Profile
ILS is an international doctoral program providing structured training in life sciences areas requiring multidisciplinary skills and capability engage in multiprofessional cooperation. The Life Science areas that are strong in Finland include Genetics, Cell and Developmental Biology, Cancer Research, Neuroscience and Virology. These areas share a strong component of multidisciplinary approaches bridging research in basic biosciences, computational sciences and medicine. The research groups affiliated in ILS represent the highest quality life science research in Helsinki. Their research interests cover nearly all aspects of modern life sciences ranging from molecular medicine and developmental biology to biophysics and systems biology.
Research and doctoral training in ILS includes the following fields of science:
- Proteomics and Metabolomics
- Genetics and Genomics
- Developmental Biology and Physiology
- Cell and Molecular Biology
- Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
- Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology
International and National Collaboration
