Promoting Excellence on Meilahti Medical Campus

The Medical Faculty of the University of Helsinki is the flagship of the Finnish medical research. Basic biomedical research, clinical research and epidemiological research, all represent the areas of special strengths of Finnish science and research.

The Faculty of Medicine is located on the Meilahti Medical Campus together with the Helsinki University Hospital and other research and educational facilities.

To promote close integration of basic and clinical research multi-disciplinary five-year research programs were established in 2001.

On the Meilahti medical campus also modern infrastructure with top-level methodological support can be found.

To finalize an excellent training environment the graduate schools organize structured PhD training with various international courses, workshops and symposia on the campus.

We have a true mission and opportunity to produce novel meaningful information of human health and disease.
