Last week, our research unit gathered for a scientific retreat at Tvärminne Zoological Station 🧬🌿 We shared our latest research, discovered nature with a trail walk, and competed in the TRIMM Olympics – six challenges blending brain and brawn!🏅 #TRIMMRetreat2025

And finally here we have Juha from Seppo Meri's lab, teaching us more about the complement proteins in the immune-response

Osma from Tienari's group described his research on C9orf72 hexanucleotide expansions

We also had some cool research on lung cancer with Nina's talk (@science_yall's lab)

More exciting research on tumour antigens and immunotherapy with Jonaatan's talk from Arstila's group

Here is Eva from Tobias Freitag's group, describing her research on impaired immunity in elderly covid patients

And Kim was representing Juha Grönholm's lab, talking about atopy and immunodeficiency syndrome

Saru and Tatiana from Akseli Hemminki's group taught us about immunotherapy with oncolytic adenoviruses

Pinja and Tiira from @SaavalainenP's lab described their research on a new method for recognition of COVID-19 infection and HLA expression in ovarian cancer

Xiaobo, Kirsten and Dawit represented @KekalainenLab, talking about MAIT cells in Covid, thyme abnormalities in myasthenia graves, and TCR-profile in MS

Sasi and Manlio from @ivtlab @vincersurf taught us more about viral-based vaccines for cancer immunotherapy

Here are Brittany and Jani from @hruh_research talking about the immune landscape of renal cell carcinoma and T-cells in melanoma

And how much fun were the 1-minute flash talks delivered by the TRIMM students to tease the audience interest for their posters!

Special thanks to our keynote speaker Karl-Johan Malmberg @MalmbergLab for his great lecture on NK cells!

It was great to go back onsite for a TRIMM breakfast seminar! ☕️ Thanks to @DrSGandalf for an inspiring talk about NK cells response in multiple myeloma👩‍🔬
