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 27th September, 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 autumn's following sessions are planned for 11.10, 25.10, 8.11, 22.11 & 13.12 (not 6.12!).
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.

How to Commercialise Your PhD in Life Sciences - Health Talks
Welcome to the next event from the Health Talks series - health, life sciences and entrepreneurship talks organised by Aalto University, Centria Health Hub, Health Design, Health Hub Tampere, HealthHub Finland EDIH, Healthtech Finland, Health Turku, HiLIFE (University of Helsinki), Kuopio Health, OuluHealth and Terkko Health Hub.
What:
In this Health Talks, we will look at the paths that PhD researchers can undertake to commercialise their idea.
Doing a PhD often feels like a natural step of a prospecting academic career, which usually leads to a postdoc or a researcher positions and occasionally down the line to a professorship. However, it doesn't need to be so, and there are many ways how a PhD and the concepts one works on during the programme can benefit the world already now. In this event, we will hear inspiring stories of doctoral researchers who decided to follow an unconventional path and take steps in commercialising their promising results.

Anna Ptukha is a PhD researcher at the Doctoral Programme Brain and Mind, and a master's student in Translation Medicine, University of Helsinki. She is the co-founder of MIND'S EYE – a startup developing timely diagnostics of developmental conditions with eye tracking. She is also creating a low-cost, rapid and accessible ADHD diagnostic tool for middle school children in a commercialization project at the University of Helsinki.
Yohann Le Bourlout is a PhD researcher at the Department of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering, Aalto University. Together with his supervisor Heikki Nieminen, he is developing an ultrasonically actuated medical needle that can improve treatment and reduce discomfort of such interventions as biopsy. The commercialization steps of the device are just about to start, and it was recently tested in practice.
