Biostatistics drop-in workshop
Are you a researcher needing support with any statistical aspect of your work? The Biostatistics Consulting Service here at Meilahti Campus holds drop-in workshop sessions every other week to answer smaller questions about your analysis - solving a particular problem, how to get started, etc. We provide service in Finnish, English and Swedish.
The next workshop is on Wednesday 2nd April, at 13:00-15:00 in Biomedicum 2B, in the Olohuone on floor 6. Come whenever you can. Note that you may end up waiting a while for your turn, especially early on in the session. We aim to spend no more than 15 minutes with each customer.
Bring:
- your computer
- your data
- your questions
and we biostatisticians will be on hand to help and guide.
Registration is not required, but you can help us prepare for your questions by filling in this form. The workshops are open to any researcher at the university's Medical Faculty, HUS or FIMM.
The following sessions are planned for 16th April, 30th April, 14th May and 28th May.
For more in-depth questions, please book a one-on-one consultation session using this e-form where we will have time to go into more detail.

iCAN science seminar with Dr. Xiao Fu
Host: Assistant Professor Heidi Haikala
If you
wish to meet with Dr. Fu during his visit or are interested in joining a
student lunch, please contact Heidi Haikala (heidi.haikala@helsinki.fi)
Xiao Fu is a Research Fellow and Junior Group Leader at the Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute, Glasgow, UK.
Xiao obtained a PhD in Biological Physics at the Indiana University Bloomington, USA in 2017. During his PhD research in Dr. James Glazier’s group, Xiao investigated the progression of diabetic retinopathy and liver toxicity through agent-based models and computer simulations.
After completing his PhD, Xiao moved to the UK and worked at the Francis Crick Institute, in Dr. Paul Bates’s group and, subsequently, in Dr. Erik Sahai’s group. During his postdoctoral research from 2017 to 2023, Xiao focused on investigating patterns and principles of tumour evolution in the contexts of kidney and lung cancers through computational modelling, in close collaboration with clinician scientists and cancer cell biologists. His more recent work employed spatial data analysis and machine learning to understand the role of stroma in prostate cancer recurrence.
In August 2023, Xiao started his research group as a Research Fellow and Junior Group Leader at the CRUK Scotland Institute (formerly known as the CRUK Beatson Institute; group webpage https://www.crukscotlandinstitute.ac.uk/cruk-si-research/cruk-si-research-groups/xiao-fu.html). His group is interested in developing diverse computational methods to investigate the organisational principles of the tumour microenvironment (TME) and mechanistic underpinnings of therapy resistance.
