I am a Clinical microbiologist (sairaalamikrobiologi) at the department of Clinical microbiology at Turku University Hospital, and a specialist researcher at the University of Turku. I have conducted research on TBDs since 2012.  

My research interests are: 

  • Laboratory diagnostics of TBDs 
  • Pathogenesis of Lyme borreliosis (in vitro and in vivo models) 
  • Immune response to TBDs
