Keynote Speakers
Liisa Holm
Liisa Holm is a professor in the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Helsinki. She earned her MSc and PhD from the University of Helsinki before conducting postdoctoral research at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg. She later led a research group at the European Bioinformatics Institute and has held faculty positions at the University of Helsinki since 2002, including a year as a visiting fellow at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute. Her research focuses on structural bioinformatics and protein evolution, with applications in functional genomics, protein classification, and structure-function prediction. Holm is among Finland’s most cited bio- and environmental scientists.
Tero Aittokallio
Tero Aittokallio received his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Turku in 2001. He then did his post-doctoral training in the Systems Biology Lab at the Institut Pasteur (2006-2007), where he focused on network biology applications using high-throughput experimental assays and network analysis. In 2007, Dr. Aittokallio launched his independent career as a principal investigator in the Turku Biomathematics Research Group, where he received a five-year appointment as an Academy of Finland Research Fellow (2007-2012). Tero Aittokallio joined Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM) as EMBL Group Leader in 2011, and was selected as Professor of Biostatistics, Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology, University of Oslo, in 2019
