Hi! I\u2019m Aino Elomaa, and I started at the beginning of June as Marketing Coordinator at City-Lab and Customer Service Specialist at the Biomedicum shop. I recently completed a Master\u2019s degree in Biomedicine at the University of Turku, complemented by minor studies in Business Administration. <\/p>\n
For the past two years, I have worked in ovarian cancer research. I conducted my master\u2019s thesis in Anniina F\u00e4rkkil\u00e4\u2019s research group, where I developed a 3D cell culture method for patient-derived cancer cells. This model aims to mimic the ovarian cancer microenvironment and could be used for immuno-oncological drug testing. Through this work, I gained hands-on experience in cell culture techniques and flow cytometry.<\/p>\n
After completing my thesis, I continued my research work in F\u00e4rkkil\u00e4\u2019s and Anna V\u00e4h\u00e4rautio\u2019s research groups as a Laboratory and Clinical Sample Coordinator. In the laboratory, I was responsible for archiving patient samples for research purposes and also had the opportunity to work with organoid cultures, DNA and RNA extractions, and single-cell sequencing. Outside the laboratory, I took part in organizing a symposium and visited the City-Lab site weekly to place orders, collect products, or seek advice.<\/p>\n
What attracted me to this role was the opportunity to combine marketing with an understanding of research products and researchers\u2019 needs. Equally important, however, was knowing that City-Lab has a fantastic team, and I am excited to be part of this community.<\/p>\n
See you at Biomedicum, or you\u2019ll hear from me in the newsletters!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hi!
