The mission of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Turku University is to generate new information and understanding through research, and to provide high quality teaching. The Faculty constitutes a community of almost two thousand people, whose academic members - teachers and researchers - respond to the challenges of our time by analysing its social phenomena.

Health, diagnostics and drug development is one of the five multidisciplinary themes of the University of Turku. The high-level research theme creates medical, technological and societal breakthroughs that advance public health.

At the Department of Life Technologies we conduct high-quality research that focuses on structure and function of proteins, photosynthesis and bioenergetics, in vitro diagnostics, and food sciences.
