About Us

The Finnish Center of Excellence in Tumor Genetics is a research consortium funded by the Academy of Finland for 2018-2025.

Our goal is to improve the understanding of the functions of the genome and to bring genomic medicine into practice.

 

Genes aren't the only part of chromosomes that can change in cancer cells. Doctoral researcher Joonas Uusi-Mäkelä (Nykter Lab) shares some recent results about how chromatin compactness, or accessibility, also changes in prostate cancer.tumorgenetics.blog/2025/04/10/r...
