Hi there👋! We’re the Systems Medicine of Tumor Microenvironment Lab. Our passion? Exploring the #TME through #SystemsOncology. Harnessing the power of our diverse and multidisciplinary team, we use innovative approaches to uncover #Biomarkers and transform these insights into clinical applications.
Summer kick-off vibes from the #FärkkiläLab: we celebrated the start of the season (and our *brand new t-shirts👕*) with a BBQ party full of good food, laughs, and reflections. Looking back at a productive first half of the year and feeling motivated for what’s next. Let’s go🚀!

We’ve been a bit quiet from this account, but that’s about to change! Thrilled to share a huge milestone: our first PhD student, @fer-perezv.bsky.social, defended and graduated🎓! We’re sad to see him go, but so proud as he starts a postdoc at @harvardmed.bsky.social
Congrats, Fer💙!
