Welcome to the InFLAMES Visiting Professor Lecture by Professor Tero Aittokallio on Friday October 28th. The topic of his lecture is “Predictive modelling of treatment responses in hematological malignancies”

The talk will take place at 3 pm in Lauren 2 auditorium, Medisiina D building.

Professor Tero Aittokalllio is currently working as a group leader in Oslo University Hospital, Institute for Cancer Research and University of Oslo, Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology. He is also a Group Leader in Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM), University of Helsinki. His group has expertise in integrating multi-omics profiling and clinical information from cancer patients using mathematical and statistical approaches such as machine learning and network modeling.
