Communication

TEAM WORKING I SOCIAL SKILLS

Strong written and oral communication skills
Effectively convey information to academic as well as to general public audience
Stimulate interest for specific scientific topics
Transfer my knowledge to others and inspire them
Experienced in leadership and mentoring
Confident and flexible team player

Excellent organizational skills & time management
Able to utilize the expertise of individual members, as well as offer my own skills and knowledge to achieve a common goal
I feel comfortable in multicultural and dynamic environments
Life in Southeast and North Europe provided me with valuable knowledge of two different consumer markets

Writing crunched

Aside to different scientific publications I published a collection of short stories named Utociste (A Sanctuary).

Scientific communication

Speaker on Annual HNPCC meetings. Attendance on EMBO, AACR & Cell Symposia.

Teaching experience

I have been teaching on the courses: Cancer Genetics, Epigenetics, Basic Protein Chemistry and Proteomics with Clinical Applications, 2D DIGE and analysis of proteomics data

Organization & Leadership

Leading organizer: 4 consecutive CancerBio Summer Schools – Amazing Cancer Race, Biocentrum Helsinki Summit of PhD’s in Life Sciences at ChemBio.

During Amazing Cancer Race we raised public awareness to cancer and with help of AMGEN and GE Healthcare raised funds for Finnish Cancer Society (FCS).

Data Analysis

STATISTICS | DATA PRESENTATION | BIOINFORMATICS

Analysis of complex data & presentation
Languages: R, learning Python
Statistics
Knowledge of SPSS, GraphPrism software packages
Proficient user of public databases and genomics tools
Gene/protein network analysis (GeneMANIA, Hippe), Ingenuity Pathway Analysis

Data analysis examples can be seen in my publications, as well as specific use of statistical tools. Few samples are in the gallery.

PRESENTATION

Using website builders and Dreamweaver: developed website for group in which I did my PhD
Proficient user of Adobe CS (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) & Corel packages
Skilled with computers and fast learner

Portfolio of different drawings, data summaries and presentations is in the gallery.

Laboratory

In the lab and in general I am persistent to finish started projects.
Able to learn and set up novel techniques independently.
Able to assess a problem, seek multiple perspectives and identify key issues that need to be further addressed.
Able to develop hypothesis based experiment, perform analysis, gather results and validate them
Critical thinker

I was responsible for all aspects of my research, and had to develop a broad range of key skills to ensure the success of my Ph.D.

Achievement of which I am proud is that I set up 2D DIGE technique in previous lab on my own.
