Biopankkitoiminnan kehittäminen ja tutkimus- ja kehitystoiminnassa tarvittavien näytteiden saatavuuden parantaminen ovat osa Veripalvelun strategiaa. Avaamme uusia tutkimusmahdollisuuksia Veripalvelun biopankin terveiden henkilöiden näytteiden ja tiedon avulla.

Suomessa toimii tällä hetkellä kymmenen biopankkia, joista kaksi toimii Veripalvelussa: Hematologinen biopankki, jonka omistavat Helsingin yliopisto, Suomen Hematologiyhdistys ja Veripalvelu, sekä Veripalvelun Biopankki, joka on erikoistunut verensiirtolääketieteen erityiskysymyksiin sekä luovuttajan että potilaan näkökulmasta. Veripalvelun biopankissa on 55 000 jäsentä ja sen erityispiirteenä on yli 40 000 biopankkisuostumuksen antanutta verenluovuttajaa, joiden antamista näytteistä genomitason variaatio ja HLA-alleelit on määritetty. Säännöllisesti luovuttavilta verenluovuttajilta pyydetään myös lupaa toistuvien näytteiden, muun muassa elävien pakastettujen verisolujen keräämiseen. Näitä tietoja ja näytteitä käytetään suostumusten mukaisesti sekä Veripalvelun johtamissa että muissa merkittävissä tutkimusprojekteissa.

Biopankit ovat biolääketieteellistä tutkimusta tukevia alustoja, joihin kerätään biopankkisuostumuksen antaneiden henkilöiden näytteitä ja tietoja tulevaa tutkimusta varten. Biopankit toimivat biopankkilain säädösten mukaisesti ja ovat viranomaisvalvonnan alaisia.

We work in close collaboration with expert clinicians at the Oulu University Hospital and utilize unique, genetically isolated Finnish population to identify novel gene variants leading to dysfunctional immunity. Some gene variants make the individual more prone to infections and may lead to devastating conditions such as viral encephalitis. Such patients, with novel gene variants, provide us with invaluable hints for the biological mechanisms involved in the disease process. In our research, we use human tissue samples and versatile in vitro methodology to study the function of immune system.RequirementsThe position is supervised by Dr. Pirjo Åström and the project’s focus is on identifying novel defense mechanisms of central nervous system (CNS) in viral infection. Eventually, we hope to provide targets for development of novel treatment modalities. Knowledge on neuroimmunology is essential to be prepared for current and future viral threats.
