I have a basic degree in Medicine and a PhD in Medical Genetics. I currently also act as a Professor in Medical Genetics of the University of Helsinki. My own research interests are in epilepsy, in rare epilepsy syndromes in particular. I want to increase understanding on the genes and mechanisms underlying epilepsy and use this information for developing new means for treatment.
