I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded Academy Research Fellowship funding. This will enable us to expand and accelerate our work on improving our understanding of how prostate cancers form, which will lead to improvements in early detection, prevention, and diagnosis of prostate cancers. Thank you Research Council of Finland | Suomen Akatemia, as well as countless individuals who provided feedback on my application, my collaborators and my research group!

The Research Council of Finland’s Scientific Council for Biosciences, Health and the Environment yesterday granted funding for 39 Academy Research Fellows, 13 Clinical Researchers and 75 Academy Projects. Twelve of the Academy Projects are consortia consisting of several subprojects. Congratulations to all the funding recipients! 👏!   Learn more ▶ https://lnkd.in/dhfG7BuF 🔹 Academy Research Fellowship funding is intended for talented early-career researchers on a fast career track who have formed international networks and who are conducting scientifically high-quality and high-impact research that contributes to scientific renewal. 🔹 The aim of the Clinical Researcher funding scheme is not only to fund high-quality scientific research, but also to enable medical doctors and other researchers working in clinical practice to carry out part-time research while working with patients. 🔹 The aim of Academy Project Funding is to promote the renewal and diversity of Finnish science and to improve the quality and scientific and other impact of research. The aim is to attain internationally as high a scientific standard of work as possible and to support scientific breakthroughs and top-tier international research collaboration. #wintercall #ResearchFunding #research #science
