Turku Collegium for Science, Medicine and Technology (TCSMT) is a multidisciplinary and interactive research community for top researchers in the early stages of their careers. At TCSMT, a maximum of four postdoctoral positions and four collegium researcher positions are now open.
Multi-disciplinarity and long-term research are the trump cards of the two research colleges of the University of Turku. Collegium Researchers Mona Mannevuo and Han Li are both inspired by their research topics and emphasise the importance of the three-year period for their careers.
A new study of the PhyloBone project of the University of Turku, Finland, identifies hundreds of non-collagenous proteins in the bone matrix that may play regulatory roles in bone formation and regeneration. The study opens the door to new treatments and preventive measures for bone regeneration and osteoporosis research.

DNP, a weight loss agent withdrawn from the market in the late 1930s due to acute toxicity, has become increasingly popular in recent years through online illegal sales. A new study using a lifelong DNP treatment in an avian model found that while no obvious toxic effects were detected on the short to medium-term, DNP reduces lifespan by 20% on the long run.
The environment we experience in early-life is known to have major consequences on later-life health and lifespan. A new study led from the University of Turku using an avian model suggests that increased prenatal exposure to maternal thyroid hormones could have beneficial effects on the ‘biological age’ at birth.
The Turku Collegium for Science and Medicine invites applications for a maximum of five fixed term postdoctoral researcher positions. The post doc positions offer a base for multidisciplinary research in an international and interdisciplinary environment, where the researchers form a tight community and receive peer-support from their colleagues.
