The InFLAMES Research Flagship is a joint effort of the University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University in Turku, Finland. InFLAMES seeks deeper understanding of normal and mistargeted inflammatory reactions in both health and disease. Aberrant immune responses are major pathogenic events in a wide range of diseases, from autoimmune diseases to cancer. We are an ambitious and dedicated top-level immunological R&D cluster. The Flagship will transform immunological research and innovations into economic and societal empowerment together with biotech and pharmaceutical companies. We are part of the Research Council of Finland’s Flagship Programme.
